[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 254776, member: 1991"] I mkae my own pumpkin soup. It's an old recipe, not one of the new-fangled ones loadedwith chili and coriander (cilantro) which seems to be shoved into every recipe you see on the media these days, as if without it nobody can taste anything. Personally, I don't like it in everything, only used sparingly in the right recipe. But I digress - I use butternut pumpkin for preference, but I'll make do with whatever I have to. I peel it, cook some onion in a trace of oil until the onion is just colouring up. Throw in the pumpkin and let it toast a little then pour in chicken stock and let it simmer until the pumpkin is tender, then I puree it. To flavour it - I add a little salt of course, and depending on the quality of the pumpkin (and whether I've had to make do with Queensland Blue instead of good butternut) I'll add a trace of sugar and maybe enough freshly ground nutmeg to simulate the natural sweetness of butternut. And that's it. Depending on how thick it is, I might need to water it down. It can be served in different ways, depending on people's dietary needs and tastes. For example, cheese lovers get it as a panade, a layer of soup topped with toasted slices of breadstick, topped with cheese, then another layer of soup, bread and cheese finally finishing it under the grill until the cheese is bubbling. Or I might put a dollop of sour cream in the bowl, top it with snipped chives and let the cream slowly swirl into the soup. And if you really must, you can use, instead of snipped chives, some cilantro. If you absolutely have to. Just not under MY roof. Marg [/QUOTE]
