Leftover Winter Squash, Delicious Pumpkin soup

If your anything like me you buy WAY too many pumpkins come Halloween and Thanksgiving…yes I am so guilty.

I love pumpkins. It’s such a simple fact. I don’t know what it is, they just make me feel so good inside when I look at them. I dream of having a pumpkin patch someday….but, I digress, back to the subject at hand.

I buy too many pumpkins…blah, blah, blah, and for this reason I try to buy a few for their nutritional value as well as their appearance. Now, all pumpkins are delicious and nutritious but, some do have a little more packed into their orangey flesh.

Take this Blue Lakota I have had hanging around since October, It is an heirloom variety and has a light squash flavor and a fresh almost cucumber scent. There is enough flesh for a couple batches of soup and maybe two pies or some pumpkin bread. She is loaded with beta-carotene and plenty of other minerals and vitamins along with antioxidants! Something we all could use in the long winter months 🙂

So my first recipe to be honored with her presence this winter was a Coconut Pumpkin Soup..Which was delicious. My little ladies didn’t think much of it but I think I will just pretend they like it until they actually do!

And now, for your eating enjoyment and winter comfort.

Coconut Pumpkin Soup

First you are going to want to roast and purée your pumpkin.

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut pumpkin in half.
  2. Scrape out seeds and stringy stuff (blah) as my ladies would say.
  3. Place in a casserole dish or roasting pan. Fill with one inch of water.Roast for about an hour or until pumpkin is tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Scrape pumpkin flesh away from skin with a large spoon.
  5. Load cooked pumpkin into your food processor.
  6. Process cooked pumpkin until it has a smooth even consistency.

Second, you are going to want to prepare your soup according to the recipe or don’t 😛

How does this not look delicious?!

Alright, enough of my babble, here is the recipe. Enjoy!
