Soups Pumpkin Soup By James Williamson www.instructables.com/id/Creamy-Pumpkin-Soup/ This soup is great at the time of year when the days are getting colder and everyones scooping out all that fantastic pumpkin goop to carve their Jack-o-lanterns! Its warming, creamy, nutritious, and really tasty! Once made, it keeps great in the fridge for up to five days. It also freezes really well, and if frozen in blocks it takes up less space than a skinned chopped pumpkin. I added a small amount of cumin to give it warmth and add to the flavor of the pumpkin. This recipes also fantastic with butternut squash and good with any other squash.

Pumpkins are in season from September onwards.
