Pumpkin Trivia: While all pumpkins are edible, food manufacturers use tan-colored pumpkins to make pumpkin puree.
My soup has had the unfortunate effect of having people like it so much there is none left for the freezer. I take about a pound of good smoked back bacon and a couple of onions and fry them gently in butter in the base of a large pan until just soft.
Then I add about 3 pounds of pumpkin flesh and about 2pounds of potatoes. Cover the lot with vegetable stock and simmer until everything is very tender.
Give it a quick whizz with a blender and add about a pint of double cream. When I made about a gallon using those quantities last year expecting to freeze most in individual portions. I was left with one single portion. This was after people who do not like pumpkinhad tasted just a mouthful and ended up gorging on the stuff.
All the best, Jane
