pumpkin, 1 small/med potato, onion and cover with vege or chicken stock.If you have a crock pot cook it in that, otherwise on the stove.When soft and simmered for a while, mash or wizz up. add a sprinkle of nutmeg if you want and serve with a swirl of cream.

If you have a microwave you could cook your pumpkin first. Then peel and recook until its soft then you shouldnt have to mash up so much

I like to roast my pumpkin and other veg before making soup as it gives a great flavour.

gosh, wished you lived closer, and i would give you a potato masher and some other utensils. my hubby always wants to know why i/we have 2/3 of all utensils. Also soup is one of the most easist things to make. hopefully more people will help you. checkout your op shops for cooking books.or just google. if you can find some alisonholst books, you'll be on your way to be the best chef... good luck

I always think a dash of curry powder makes a nice addition to a pumpkin soup.Plus a cup of orange juice added in the last 10 minutes is a different flavour..My favourite soup - I have grown lots of pumpkins and they are lined up on the hay bales in our barn awaiting my attention.YUM.

Ok, for a easy peasy pumpkin soup that is super quick half and hr tops and is so tasty you wont believe. Cut some pumpkins up, skin off and boil em til they are cooked, drain the water. In another pot, make a basic white sauce, eg butter, flour, milk, salt n pepper, Then put them together in a blender, or use a blender wand and blend til nice and creamy. Lastly stir in some chopped parsley. So yum and its as easy as that!
