    Pumpkin soup
    Half a medium pumpkin(about 500-600g)
    800ml of vegetable stock
    1 tbsp chopped chives
    salt and pepper
    Peel pumpkin and cut into pieces about 2-3cm thick
    Place chunks in pan and pour in stock,liquid should just cover the pieces,
    add chives and bring to boil,
    reduce heat and simmer for 20mins or until pumpkin is soft,
    Puree with hand held blender and season to taste (a bit of nutmeg is nice in it)
    You can sprinkle toasted pumpkin seeds on top or a drizzle of creme fraiche x

    Thumbs up

    Mmmmmmmmm! Sounds lovely Thumper.

    I do love homemade soup and have it every day for lunch. The only tinned soup which tastes as good as homemade is Tomato.

    Thank you Liz,I can't stand tomato soup,I like the red pepper and tomato soup but find tomato too strong and it gives me heartburn I make a lot of soups as it is a cheap,easy and healthy way to feed my kids and about the only way to get veg into at least one of them x

    I can't eat Tomato Soup now either but, when I could, I did enjoy it.
    I made Tomato Soup once and it was a real faff.
    One of the comments was 'This is as good as tinned'!
    Funnily enough never made it again!!!

    Homemade soup served with lovely crusty bread is a wonderful and nutritious meal.

    Must try your Pumpkin Soup Thumper as it sounds lovely!

    Here is a really good recipe for a super creamy soup that my children love. Good for the non-dairy peeps if they miss out the butter and use oil as it does give a creamy consistency without the need for cream or milk.
    Split Pea and Leek Soup Makes 6 portions.
    2 1/2 oz butter
    1 medium onion, finely chopped
    2 large leeks, finely sliced
    2 medium potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
    4oz green split peas, soaked overnight in plenty of water
    2 pints light chicken stock
    salt and freshly ground black pepper
    Melt the butter and cook the onion and leeks gently until soft in a covered saucepan, without colouring. Stir in the potatoes, green split peas and stock. Cover, bring to the boil and simmer gently for about 40 minutes until the split peas are tender. Cool a little, then puree in a liquidiser (I use a stick blender). Taste for seasoning. Reheat gently and serve.

    another easy one....carrot soup
    I just wing it with this,
    Big bag of carrots
    large onion
    clove of garlic or some paste if preferred
    beef stock
    creme fraiche
    chop carrots and seat off in a pan with a small bit of butter and of course the onion
    add stock to cover the carrots and cook until tender(about 20 mins)
    blitz with a hand held blender and add more stock to desired consistency(I like it thick) and then add a big blob of creme fraiche-job done!
    If preferred you can use Vegetable stock but I like the beef stock in mine x
