Meat free monday defrosted...
I bought some pumpkin the other day because I wanted to use my new food processor to make some pumpkin soup. As regulars are aware I don't really "do" recipes but I didn't have any idea on how to cook pumpkin soup as being a pom I've never used it before. In the UK we only use it to make Jacko-lanterns at halloween. I read a few recipes kindly provided by S and google and then I came up with this, my own bastardised version. I'm very pleased with it :)
Dead Simple Spicy Bastardised Pumpkin Soup
Go fetch:
1 onion
1 small red chilli pepper
couple of cloves of garlic
1 tsp fresh ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp nutmeg
splash of olive oil (or butter) for frying
About 1kg of pumpkin
1 potato
1 litre of vege stock
100ml or so cream
Go do:
Heat oil or butter in a large pan. Add chopped onion, garlic and chilli. Fry about 1 min. Add spices and fry gently for another minute or two. Remove from heat and add the vege stock. Add chopped pumpkin, chopped potato and bring to boil.
Stir every five mins or so. I tend to add and remove cover as required. The goal was to have liquid just covering pumpkin by the end of half an hours simmering.
Allow to cool. If you've still got too much liquid then let it cool uncovered so the steam can escape. If it's looking about right then leave covered. (Duh?)
Blend it in a couple of batches until smooth. This can be stored in fridge for a day or two or you can proceed straight to the servy bit:
Go eat:
Add to pan, add cream, reheat stirring frequently.
Simple huh?
I served this with wholemeal bread chunks (toasted with sprinkles of grated cheese)
Thoughts and comments appreciated as always...Oh, and even if you don't like it (you're too weird - stop reading now please) you've got to like the name I've invented for it?
PS. This post is called "meat free monday defrosted" cos I wrote it a little while ago but since I've been away I took it out of storage to give you blog-hungry peeps something to read that makes it look as though I write stuff even when I'm tired from travel and worky stuff. Oh bugger, I've given it away now - some of you'll be guessing I sometimes back date stuff too :) ....

hm. i'm not so sure about this. it sounds kinda like liquid pumpkin pie. i don't like pumpkin pie. i may try it with different spices. i'll bet it would be good with indian/curry spices!
actually, i misread the recipe ... maybe if i just left out the all spice and nutmeg.
and perhaps substituted coconut milk instead of cream ...
hmmm ... that sounds yum.
Mr V: You dissin me punk? he he he. In all honesty I used three chilis and I used Garam Masala instead of allspice. I'm way too Indian in my cooking so I tried to make this a more westernised recipe to please the masses. Honestly, it's savoury, give it a go.
why should our sleeping thoughts be forced to confine themselves to the production of wishes? Are there not, on the contrary, many dreams that present a different psychic act in dream form, http://storyah44.info/powiatowe+urz%C4%99dy+pracy.html e.. The moon had risen, and a little breeze waved the hanging moss, and whispered in the glossy foliage of http://startso11.info/wynajem+Bielsko.html orange and palmetto with a sound like falling rain.. We wake up for an http://storyah44.info/reklamy.html instant, and immediately resume our sleep.. Now as to the p'ints o' absentees, my business as dep'ty sheriff has took me away from this inconsider'ble town freckwent, hain't it? It have, Matt, er somethin' http://startso11.info/mustek+skan+ekspres+6000P.html else, more'n I were a expectin', an'-- Jes' so.. Hotchkiss--may affect--a compromise. http://startso11.info/AMC-Polska.html. This vine, however, bore leaves, http://startso11.info/egazmin+gimnazjalny.html and these, on that pleasant summer morning, shielded from us two persons who were in earnest conversation in the straggling, half-dead flower-garden at the side of the house.. I have just bought all the edibles about the place, whether in the cellar, the house or any of the surrounding structures, in the ground, above the ground, dead or alive, and a bargain's a bargain as between man and http://startso11.info/kurwy+z+gliwic.html man.. A little diplomacy http://storyah44.info/powiat+w%C5%82oc%C5%82awski.html will do it.. Thus proceeding, they presented a http://startso11.info/ksi%C4%85%C5%BCka+telefoniczna+warszawy.html strange sight.. More usually, however, when the dream contains anything relating to the impressions of http://startso11.info/db+z.html the day, it is so trivial, unimportant, and so deserving of oblivion, that we can only recall it with an effort.. To one http://startso11.info/geow%C5%82%C3%B3knina+TYPAR+SF.html of my very nervous patients, who was an abstainer, whose fancy was fixed on his mother, and who repeatedly dreamed of climbing stairs accompanied by his mother, I once remarked that moderate masturbation would be less harmful to him than enforced abstinence.. Ancient geographers, when exhausting their store of information about distant lands, yielded to an unscientific craving for romance and, without any evidence http://startso11.info/www.photoblog.plmargola.html to support their day dreams, filled the blank spaces left on their maps by unexplored tracts with amusing inserts such as Here there are lions.. I told http://startso11.info/lizawka.html him I'd go if he would bring me around here to let you know what had become of me, and so he did.. Time after time he quickened his pace, only to find that he had been fooled by a patch of dogwood, a clump of haw bushes or even a leaf-strewn knoll, but at last he unmistakably saw the dress, and then he slowed down to a http://rebestal.info/deska+sedesowa.html careless saunter.. According to the correct but concise definition of Aristotle, the dream is a continuation of thinking in sleep (in http://storyah44.info/biorytmy+free.html so far as one sleeps).. The audience rose in a whirl http://startso11.info/teksty+piosenek+cohen.html of amazement, rage, and sorrow.. In her opinion, that http://startso11.info/stocznie.html would not have mattered very much.. There is a meaning in all these http://startso11.info/katalog+wysy%C5%82kowy.html cases when different persons are amalgamated into one substitute.. He could http://startso11.info/rosyjskie+obiekty+wojskowe.html read, and the large block type always pleased him.. She answers with unqualified praise, thereby silencing her own judgment, as she would prefer to tell the truth, http://startso11.info/szko%C5%82a+detektyw+wroc%C5%82aw.html namely, that he is an ordinary person...
Ok please update I am tired of looking at the pumpkin soup recipe.
Isabella: Rearrange these words - bits, my, suck, boy. Oh wait, you can't. You're a spambot.
Just Me: Ummm, in 3 calender months you've made one post and you critise me?! Nonetheless, your wish is my command, I've given you more sweety. I'm just all give, me. What's wrong with my pumpkin soup anyway?
