Sunset Pumpkin Soup

Here's an easy pumpkin soup, with some variety...

Ingredients:
1 Butternut pumpin
1 brown onion
3 Desiree potatoes
2 carrots
1 Kumara (or sweet potato)
and 1 garlic clove
1 vegetable stock cube
500 mL of liquid vegetable stock

Instructions:
Prepare the veges, chopping them according to your taste (chunky or finely) and washing them thoroughly (especially if you dropped a piece on the floor!). Fry the onion, garlic and carrot, over a moderate heat until the onion and garlic soften. Add the remaining chopped veges, and the stock and cook over a high flame until the soup starts to bubble. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook the veges until just soft. Check the seasoning. Mash the soup with a potato masher for a chunky soup, or blend in a food processor for a puree. This soup is best served chunky, as it is a thing of beauty with all the sunset coloured veges combining in the bowl. Serve with crusty bread, freshly chopped parsely and shallots and either thickened cream or sour cream.

Variations:
Add half a red capsicum to the initial "fry up"
Add a mix of pumpkin varieties
Add milk in the last phase for a creamier version

MUSIC: "Tras" off B EP by Battles released by Warp Records

Good god this looks delicious D: Will have to leave out the onions though, since my dad's allergic to 'em. D'you think I can use something else instead?

As far as I know, leek and spring onions don't give him stomach aches for the rest of the week like actual onions and those red onions do.

[FantasmaBAnco]

Spring onions would probably be ok... you might want to fry them up in some oil over a medium heat until they're soft, first.

I love the idea of people from around the world eating this dish! It warms my heart. ; )
