As I was strolling round the supermarket thinking about what veg soup I'd make this week, I spotted pumpkins on sale at a very reasonable £2. So its pumpkin soup this week. Just can't remember how I prepared It last year. I know they are difficult to cut so I was hoping I might get some top tips on how to best get the flesh for my soup.
 
Dunno, but save the seeds as I keep seeing roasted, spiced pumpkin seed recipes Happy Halloween, Lenny!
 
Why not cut into wedges, removed stringy bits and seeds and bake in oven with olive oil, clove sliced garlic and a few slices red chilli.. It's much easier to then scoop the soft flesh away from skin. I do this with butternut squash and it makes a lovely soup with chicken or veg stick, and some coconut milk and bit of fresh coriander.
 
Thanks for the ideas guys, guess I'll chop it and bake it
