Anyone else turning their 🎃into soup?

Hmmm sounds lovely. Glad you are spicing it up, I do too, because pumpkin is a bit of a bland vegetable.

Coming into the soup season now. - lunch today we had leek and potato. I do a pumpkin and carrot soup so, celery, onion, carrot, Pumpkin, stock etc. and make a smooth soup.

I fear Halloween, I get pumpkin everything, Soup, Roast, Cake, Curry, you name it, Ive had a week so far, another week at least to endure.

You could make something else David?

My pumpkin went mouldy! I have made a pot of lentil soup instead

But does David cook? 🤔

Good time to learn I think MaizieD 🙂

James Martin said the orange pumpkins we carve aren’t good for soup - so that’s my excuse not to use it!

I cook 3 courses for 6 regularly, 12 is a stretch at Christmas, i didnt realize how easy it was until I needed to. My wife is better but needs to be inspired, currently she is inspired by pumpkin, a jug of soup in the fridge and pumpkin cake in the tin

I’ve heard or read that more than once, but since I hate wasting food, I’ve ignored it, and my pumpkin soup always turns out fine. Mind you IMO it always needs a LOT of flavouring/spicing up.
