Pumpkin Soup

So I made some pumpkin soup using our sole pumpkin we got off the allotment. The recipe is easy. You cook in butter a medium onion chopped finely. Add two pounds of pumpkin flesh - take the seeds and skin off first. Then add one medium potato cubed and a couple of carrots chopped. Add two pints of vegetable stock and season. Add 1/4 pint of milk. Simmer for half an hour and blitz. It has to be said the soup was nice but without the addition of the carrot I suspect it might have been a bit bland. Unlike the Artichokes this had no undesirable after shocks to my insides.

i am also getting into pumkins at the moment. from the 1.5 years i lived in italy my favourite dish is riso de zucca (pumpkin risotto). simple, honest home cooking always wins. I still cant make it like 'mamma' but i'd recommend it none the less.
