It's Halloween, which means time for a good and simple, spine-chilling pumpkin soup. Whether you add spooky amounts of chilli or keep it mild and child-friendly (or pretend to do the latter while actually...) is up to you, of course.
I, for one, think a devious bit of extra chilli can never do any harm...
1 pumpkin (neither freakishly large nor freakishly tiny)
3 carrots (no creepy sizes here, either)
1 sweet potato (make that a real killer!)
2 onions
Cut into pieces, place in saucepan and cover level with water. Bring to boil, let simmer until cooked. Blend till smooth.
Add:
About half a can of coconut milk
Chilli powder (be as daring and blood-curdling as you wish)
Salt
On Halloween, serve in skulls, if at hand.
PS: Rinse and dry, then roast the pumpkin seeds in a bit of olive oil. Season heartily with whatever spices and herbs you find in your cupboard. They make for a yummy snack and I (want to) believe it's actually (sort of) healthy. Plus you've really, wonderfully, made use of all the goodness of the pumpkin.
