Recipe for a really good Pumpkin Soup

Funny you should say that as I just bought some Pumpkin this morning with that very thought in mind. We use a similar method but no cream; what we do is use some Sweeet Potato as well as this thickens it slightly and give a wonderful sweetness to it; we still add the nutmeg. Try it with Butternut Squah if you can get it but it tends to be V expensive. mmmmmm ..soup and crusty bread for supper...

It sounds delicious, very similar to the recipe I use and cumin and nutmeg give that extra flavour. You can also add some Greek or Bulgarian yoghurt instead of cream (or sour cream if you find it....) Sweet potatoes are a great idea, if you can find them......

Sweet potato, known here as Patata Americano I think, is a regular at the Coop in Lucca and at most Esselungas.

Great info, Gromit as I do some shopping at Esselunga Ponte a Moriano. But I had not seen them. Roasted lamb with baked sweet potatoes, pumpkin, carrots and potatoes with olive oil, rosemary and lemon juice will be great.
