Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[ubereglu]

Well, I've been growing the pumpkin, hooligan, and have 3 and a half left after making a batch of pumpkin scones-the recipe is in this month's Gardeners' World and I'm just wondering what else I can do with pumpkins!

[Couperwife]

what about soup?

 

Pumpkin and walnut soup (from slimmingworld, but dont worry about that)

 

Fry Light

2 medium onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 small pumpkin, peeled, de-seeded and chopped

700ml vegetable stock made with water and 2 tsp Vecon

2 tbsp tomato puree

12 walnut halves

 

Spray the base of a large saucepan with Fry Light, add the onion and garlic and stir over a medium heat for a few minutes until the onion softens.

 

2. Add the pumpkin, stock, tomato puree and crumbled walnut halves.

 

3. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat, cover the pan and simmer for 30 minutes.

 

4. Liquidise the soup, season to taste and enjoy!
