fastlanz: My favourite Cream of Pumpkin soup: 1 onion finely chopped 1 clove garlic crushed 750g buttercup pumpkin, skinned, chopped and cooked 600ml milk ¼ tsp nutmeg salt and pepper to taste cream oil or butter to saute onions. parsley Method: Cook pumpkin in a little salted boiling water until soft, drain and mash. saute onion and garlic in oil until soft and add to mashed pumpkin. Add enough milk to give the pumpkin a thick soup consistency, add nutmeg and a swirl of cream just before serving. You can also add some parsley to each bowl. For the amount of pumkin to use I generally use1 piece of pumpkin per person (ie what I would cook per person if baking or steaming)

Hi lythande1, many thanks for sharing your recipe.Quick question - how much stock do you use or do you just top up with stock as needed - and do you use what type of stock.Just want to get recipe right. Thanks

Happy to share some I've perfected:
Chicken & Broccoli Soup Boil up chicken frames till tender, remove any meat, then discard bones. Retain chicken stock (you want at least 700 mls to 1 litre). 3-4 florets broccoli, chopped finely 2 pkts cream of chicken soup 1 med onion, finely chopped 1 large potato, grated 2 cups milk ½ cup cream (opt) Salt & pepper To a 2 litre saucepan add the chicken stock, chopped onion, grated potato, chicken soups (made up with a little water), & chopped broccoli. Bring to the boil & then turn back to allow to simmer for 20-30 minutes. About 10 minutes before serving, add 2 cups of milk ( & a little cream if you like). Season. Reduce heat as it can curdle at this time.
Braised Chicken, Tomato & Basil Soup Boil up chicken frames till tender. Remove any meat from the bone & discard bones. Place chicken stock into a 2 litre saucepan. 3-4 cans chopped tomatoes 1-2 medium onions, chopped 3-4 tsp dried basil 1 pkt each cream of chicken & tomato soups A few fresh basil leaves (optional) Salt & pepper Extra water Place all ingreds into the saucepan with chicken stock. Add enough water to make the pot 3/4 full. Allow to simmer for 30 mins or so. Season to taste. To serve place a couple of fresh basil leaves onto each bowl.

I love the "happy to share some I have perfected" - it is an evolution isn't it.I think we have all had recipes over the years where we have chopped and changed to suit the family and or the fussy ones in the family, you add this and leave that out.Many many thanks for sharing for this great project.

Pixiegirl, I have one I 'adapted' when I was a vegetarian. I never did have precise quantitites, using as much or as little of the ingredients as required for the amount of soup I was making.
I wonder if you could use it anyway? If so, I'll post it for you.

first off i can't spell lol so sorry in advance for whoever is doing all that stuff cos i just made your job a bit harder i am afraid.....
Chicken Noodle soup: boil up to 4 chicken carcases that are just covered and no more in water with 2tsp of powdered chicken stock, 4 bay leaves, good grind of pepper, 1 finely chopped onion, 2 sprigs thyme and then let cool enough to strip off all the flesh and return to the pot.
Take out bay leaves and thyme and then bring back up to the boil.Add your fav noodles - rice, 2 min, egg - whatever you like - and then add then the thickening (3tsp of wheaten cornflour mixed with enough milk to form a nice liquid paste) in a slow stream stiring all the time while the mix is boiling.let boil for about a min or two till the noddles are cooked through and then serve.freezes well and is sooooooooooooo yum!!

Toasted Oat and Tomato & Garlic Soup(really rich) olive oil 1/2 cup rolled oats 4 small or 3 large onions 1 small tin or pottle of tomato paste 4 x cans of chopped peeled tomatos 1 head of garlic
In a very large saucepan or stock pot, brown the rolled oats in the olive oil,(watch very carefully they go from browning to burnt really quickly) remove these from the pot and add some more oil and the sliced onions,cook until clear, then add the tinned tomatos, tomato paste and the rolled oats Peel the garlic and add the whole cloves add water until you get a good consistency cook slowly for at least an hour the garlic cloves get really sweet and the oats seem to thicken the soup so its not watery. This is wonderful with crusty bread.
