Pumpkin Soup Day!

Aug 23, 2019 | Tui - Year 2 blog

We recently read a book about growing pumpkins and making pumpkin soup and decided to make our own! It was a great success and EVERYONE liked it!* What a great way to get some veggies into us and keep warm on a cold day. We even saved some seeds to grow in the school veggie garden so we can do the same again next winter.

*Recipe below, as requested!

 

Mrs Clark’s Pumpkin Soup 

1 large crown pumpkin, cut and skinned

Sprinkle with Masterfoods Roast Vegetable Seasoning (or similar)

Roast in the oven until golden and soft

Put into crockpot

Add 3-4 rashers of chopped bacon, a chopped onion, 3Tbsp powdered chicken or vegetable stock and enough water to just cover.

Cook for 2-3 hours on high then mash or whizz to remove lumps.

add 250ml cream (or more to taste) and gently heat again

Enjoy!
