Recipe for the pumpkin soup we had on the foray.....not exactly sure of quantities but but fiddle around with it to taste


Roast slices of pumpkin  (drizzled with olive oil) in oven til soft...about 40/45 mins


Gently fry a large onion until soft...add 2/3 cloves chopped garlic ( I also added a large clove of elephant garlic) a level teaspoon of freshly ground cumin seeds and as many chopped chillies as you like either 1 or 2 hot ones or a couple of milder ones( I used a mixture of pinnochio's nose, lemon drop and cayenne). Cook for a few mins.
Add chunks of pumpkin and also chopped sweet red pepper, chicken stock (not too much) salt and freshly ground black pepper and a teaspoon of sugar. Top the lot off with milk and simmer for about 20 mins. Add more milk if necessary ( the soup does get very thick). When cooked adjust seasoning and add a big splodge of double (or single ) cream/creme fraiche ----or both! and a few tablespoons of chopped freesh coriander and parsley. Enjoy!!!
