Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients

• 1 pumpkin, flesh only
• 1 knob butter
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 carrot, chopped
• Vegetable stock
• 1 tbsp curry powder
• 1 tsp mixed herbs
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Double cream, to serve

Method

1. Chop up the hollowed out flesh of the Jack O’Lantern, and sautée it in a knob of butter in a pan along with 1 chopped onion and 1 finely chopped carrot.
2. Next make up some vegetable stock according to the packet instructions. You’ll need enough to half fill a large soup pan, and bring the mixture to the boil. Then leave to simmer for about 20-30 minutes.
3. Add roughly a tablespoon of curry powder and a teaspoon of mixed herbs, then season to taste. Add a generous splash of double cream and serve.
