I chop & steam the pumpkin first and set aside. Then I sauté a big chopped onion, some garlic, chilli and orange zest in a bit of butter in a large pot until the onion turns translucent. I add he pumpkin, and top it up with enough fresh chicken or veggie stock to just cover it . Bring to a boil then simmer and blend. Season with salt & pepper as well as the juice from one orange. Add a dollop of cream & freshly chopped herbs when ready to serve. that's my basic recipe and is easily adapted to add the herbs/seasonings of your choice :-)
Edited to say: A little curry powder goes well in this recipe also.

Try adding a few tablespoons of peanut butter before blending, lite coconut milk also adds a nice flavor.

I like to saute the onion, carrot and celery then I add the pumpkin raw with some chicken stock.At this stage I add 1 medium size potato to thicken it up. I also like a wee bit of curry and also a friend suggested to add a cup of orange juice in the last 5 minutes.That worked out really well, delicious.Pumpkin soup is definitely one of my favourites.I use the stick blender, it's the only soup I make that I like to be smooooooth!
