has anyone ever tried or made pumpkin soup? i watched a guy making it on youtube but the video was shit and didn't even include measurements with the recipe.
Definitely doesn't sound like a liquid version of a pumpkin pie. Not sure how I feel about it now.
Well noooooooo sillysocks, it's not like pumpkin pie.
On it's own it'd be thin and tasteless so the puree'd potatoes and cream gives it a bit of oomph and the other stuff gives it flavour.
My friend makes a Thai Curry version (at least that's what she calls it) using coconut milk and red curry paste, errrr and other stuff (I forget what). Actually, a little taste is quite nice but a bit too spicy for me to have a whole bowl of it.

How much cooking oil and salt and pepper will you use in the soup dong?
No oil and no salt added
This is my plain pumpkin soup I make:
1 kg pumpkin (seeds and stringy parts removed, leave skin on (your choice)
2 cups water
2tsps instant chicken stock
2tsps instant green herb stock
2 tsps sugar
2 onions choped
2 cloves garlic crushed
1/4 tsp grated nutmeg
2 - 3 cups milk
Put the first 8 ingredients in a large pot, pumpkin skin side down, cover and cook until pumpkin is tender enough to scrape from skin. Remove skin from pumpkin and puree everything in pot using foodprocessor or kenwood hand wizzer <- what i use, mouli or sieve. Add 2 cups of milk to the puree. Reheat without boiling. Add more milk if soup is to thick.
I've lost my red curry pumpkin, kumura soup recipie. So the last time i made it I basicly use above and improvised - 500grms pumpkin, 500grms orange kumura, 2 large onions, crushed garlic, 2 cups chicken stock, around 2 tblsp red curry paste (add more or less depending on your taste) and a tin coconut cream <- very nice - and in this recipe I do remove pumpkin skin before the cooking stage. Cook and puree as above.
