It’s creepy and it’s cooky, mysterious and spooky, its altogether ooky, my pumpkin recipe doo doo doo dooo……

Ingredients:

Serves 6
Prep: 15mins (if you already have the pumpkin puree)  Cooking time:  20 mins

1. Now if you’ve already made the pumpkin pie recipe you should have some pumpkin left for this soup recipe, if not follow steps 1 to 3 from here
2. Keeping the pureed pumpkin to once side for the moment, chop up your onions, chilli, peeled carrot, peeled potatoes, red pepper and peel and bash your garlic cloves
3. Get your soup pot out and heat up two knobs of butter, now add in the onion, garlic and chilli and cook for 5 minutes
4. Then add your carrot, potatoes and red pepper with all the spices and cook for another 5 minutes
5. Now its time to add your pumpkin and stir altogether before adding the vegetable stock, season and bring to the boil
