Pumpkin Soup
This is always popular and very easy to make.
I use my crockpot as I find it is easiest. You can cook the pumpkin in a saucepan.
1 kg Pumpkin
2 Onions peeled and chopped
4 cups Chicken stock (1 heaped tsp powder to 1 cup water)
1 cup Cream
salt and pepper to taste

Peel and cut pumpkin into chunks
place onion, pumpkin and beef stock in crockpot and cook until soft.
Allow to cool a little and then blend until smooth.
return to crockpot and add salt and pepper and cream and gently heat to required temp.
Can be sprinkled with nutmeg and chopped parsley to serve.
I have found that some pumpkins make a sweet soup and some have less flavour than others so you will need to determine which one suits you best.

I have found that if I peel the onions and put them in a plastic bag in the freezer while I prepare the pumpkin that way I don't cry when it comes time to chop them.
