Today I made: pumpkin soup

Today I gave cooking pumpkin soup a go & though my expectations were not high it actually game out really nice & it’s a nice little soup to try that’s not too time consuming.


You will need…

50 g butter
750 g lb pumpkin (deseeded & cut into chunks)
½ teaspoon of grated nutmeg
½ teaspoon dried thyme
Salt & pepper

Melt the butter in a large saucepan, add pumpkin & cook for 10mins. Add nutmeg/thyme/ salt & paper making sure to stir. Add 150 ml¼ pint of water, cover & cook on a high heat until the pumpkin is tender. Puree the pumpkin in a blender or food processor then return it to your saucepan. Cook for another 2 to 3mins then serve, yummy.
