chickencam Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Sounds lovely and quite similar to the pumpkin soup that I made on Monday, that had cummin and ground ginger in it and was served with greek yoghurt to take the edge off the sweetness. I could live on soup at this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
