Peppery Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients

  • This is a recipe that we almost always have at Halloween - we scrape out as much pumpkin flesh as we can before making the lantern!
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • A little vegetable oil or vegan margarine
  • The flesh of 1 pumpkin
  • 3 to 4 cups of soya milk
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black or mixed pepper to taste (we like lots)

Method

  • Fry the onion in the oil or margarine for a few minutes until soft then add the pumpkin and salt and cook for a further few minutes.
  • Add the soya milk and bring to the boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer gently until the pumpkin flesh is soft.
  • Place the soup in a liquidiser and blend until smooth and frothy.
  • Add the pepper - we find it a good idea to let everyone add their own.
