- Either use hand blender or upright, blend til smooth.

- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Eat then, simmer for a while, or freeze. It all works with this one.

10 stars! Easy, tasty, creamy, spicy, garlic zingy... I used 3 cloves of garlic as we love the stuff and more cream as I didn't have creamed coconut on hand. Once I get coconut cream I will use that too next time. The flavours are wonderful and even "not-so-hot-on-soup-DH" loved it... I blended mine with a stick blender and it went like a charm. Please see my rating system: 5 stars for an easy recipe where I just chopped everything , popped a few blocks of homemade chicken stock out of the freezer into the pan and shoved it on the back element to do it's stuff while I cooked kids dinner etc... easy and yummy... now that pumpkins are growing in popularity in the Netherlands I will be grabbing more pumpkin and making this for lunch REALLY often :) Thanks for an excellent recipe!

We had this for dinner tonight and it was just wonderful! This was the first time I've ever had pumpkin soup before and this was right up my alley. Very creamy, smooth tasting and all of the veggies seemed to compliment each other. I did have to tweak it a bit because fresh pumpkins just are not in season so I had 2 (15 oz) cans of Libby's 100% pure pumpkin. But followed the rest perfectly. I can't wait to try fresh pumpkins next time. Maybe I'll even add some nutmeg next time around. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe. (I did take some pics, they're on the way.)

Hrm...based on the ideas given...
I live in England. But I was raised in Georgia, USA. Yes yes, a southern girl through and through. I'm a student in a serious relationship with a brit. I'm a student studying English Literature and History, loving every minute I might add.
My favorite cook book is anything by Jamie Oliver or Gordon Ramsey, I just think they're grand! And it's written in a clear way.
My biggest pet peeve will always be rudeness. I'm southern--there is never, ever an excuse for bad manners.
