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 :hungry: 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
