Spicy Pumpkin Soup 1.4kg pumpkin 1 small onion 15g butter 275ml hot chicken stock Pinch each of ground nutmeg, ginger and allspice Pepper 2.5cm cinnamon stick 30ml cream
Place chopped pumpkin in a 1.75L casserole. Cover and microwave on high for 15-17mins. Place pumpkin in a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Return to the casserole. Place onion and butter in a small bowl. Cover and microwave on high 2-2½min or until tender. Stir the onions and remaining ingredients into the pureed pumpkin. Cover and microwave on medium for 6-7mins, stirring twice, until flavours have blended and the soup is piping hot. Remove and discard the cinnamon stick before serving (I don't worry about the cinnamon stick, I just use ground cinnamon) Great served with cheese rolls! Cheese Rolls 1 Packet onion soup warmed with 1 cup of water over low heat, add 2 packed cups grated cheese, ½ tsp paprika, ½-1 tsp curry powder. Cut the 2 long crusts off bread and spread wrong side (lightly) with butter or margarine. Spread the cheese mix on the other side, roll up with the cheese mixture on the inside,place in plastic bag in fridge for 1hr then grill. They are really handy to keep in the freezer for last minute snacks. Makes appx 2 loaves of bread.

Easy Pumpkin Soup: 1 pkt King Pea and Ham Soup, half a good size pumpkin. Cook soup according to directions. Add peeled and chopped pumpkin. Simmer till soft. Mash through with potato masher or stick mixer. Dollop of sour cream on top when served. Used to make this when on the dpb years ago. Cost me about $4 to make.

If I have time I roast the pumpkin on a bed ofrosemary,add quartered red onions,fresh thyme and a small head of garlic, and drizzle with evoo,salt and black pepper.Once tender drain the evoo off and add the pumpkin to a large pot with chicken stock and squeeze in the roasted garlic.Simmer.Before serving add cream to taste,check seasoningand whizz with a stick blender.I like a chunky soup but the texture is up to you.

The recipe by purplegonna is the one someone has posted, i use heaps of garlic, and make the chicken stock and freeze heaps for winter lunches, and you can control how thick or thin you want it by just adding more stock. I M/wave whole pumpkin first about 15 mins remove and cut into wedges but its very hot so watch it, cuts down the cooking time a bit and is heaps easier to cut.

Some people add tomato puree, carrots, spuds to their pumpkin soups.Leek & pumpkin is a winner too.I remember people used to make a white sauce to which they added cooked mashed pumpkin, herbs, spices, with sauteed onions and garlic, chicken stock or bacon bones stock.Others have peanut butter, ginger, coconut cream.http://allrecipes.com.au/recipes/tag-1630/pumpkin-soup-recipes.aspx So many exciting methods for delicious pumpkin soups but only one tummy!

Coconut cream also makes a delicious addition, if you're not watching calories!

made this last night and it was really nice for a change.I boiled the pumpkin seperately and mashed it before adding to the cooked soup. Didn't dollop it with sour cream though.I ate it with marmite soldiers instead

I second the coconut cream addition! Just fry some sliced onions in a little oil, when nearly ready add curry powder to taste and cook a couple of minutes. Add your chopped pumpkin, cover with stock. Simmer until pumpkin soft. Taste for salt, add if necessary along with fresh black pepper. Puree, add a can of coconut cream and reheat gently, do not boil. Serve with a swirl of coconut cream on top and finely chopped coriander. Wonderful stuff. Your soup will only ever be as good as the pumpkin tastes and I have learnt to microwave a small piece of pumpkin and taste first. I like it sweetish, reasonably dry.
