Just had some for lunch, after ‘re-purposing’ my Halloween pumpkin. Onion, garlic, chicken stock cubes, ginger and red chilli pastes, coconut milk, a stick blender in the pan. 😋
All the cutting up and peeling didn’t take too long at all.

I like to roast the seeds as a topping for various dishes as well as the soup.

I think making soup with pumpkin is a bit like stone soup in the fairy tale. Pumpkin doesn't taste of much but makes a lovely rich soup with the right ingredients. Yours sounds really yummy Witzend.

I was going to roast ours tomorrow.
It's a smaller squash but the skin seems really tough!

I didn't carve it this year, just put it outside and we only had one lot of little (very scary!) visitors 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️

Perhaps it will soften in the microwave.

Actually, your soup sounds better, Witzend!

That's pretty much how I make mine too, Witzend.
