PUMPKIN SOUP

Hello again, back with today’s free recipe, this was given to me, by Martha a cousin of mine, she makes this soup whenever pumpkins are in season,  I am going to try this one out, why don’t you?  She swears by it and she is a great cook. This recipe like other recipes we have can be made for vegetarians, by using vegetarian substitute products.  I like to use Organic ingredients when ever I can, but I’m told whatever you use will make a great soup.

Ingredients

  • 1 small Pumpkin
  • 2 oz. Butter (or any vegetarian substitute)
  • 1/2 pint of Milk (or any vegetarian substitute)
  • 2 Onions
  • 1 Carrot
  • 2 quarts of Water
  • Time to cook One Hour and a Half.

    First peel and slice up the pumpkin (of course take the seeds out, you can cook the seeds to eat), peel and cut the onions, and carrot, now put the cut Pumpkin, onions and carrot into a saucepan with half of the butter, place on the stove and sweat the vegetables in the butter for about five minutes. While you are doing this place a saucepan with the 2 quarts of water on the stove until it boils

    Once you have sweated the vegetables in the butter, pour over the boiling water and boil until the vegetables are very soft. Once the vegetables are soft, pour and rub through a sieve and return to the saucepan with the half pint milk and some pepper and salt, and stir continuously until it boils up. Your pumpkin soup is now ready.

    Just before serving, stir in, in tiny pieces, the rest of the butter (or the vegetarian butter substitute)
    and a little lemon juice.
