Ingredients:

1.4l chicken broth
900g chopped pumpkin flesh
200g onion, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp black pepper
120ml whipping cream, warmed
Fresh parsley (optional)

Method:

In a covered saucepan, heat all ingredients except cream to boiling. Reduce the heat and simmer the mixture, uncovered, for about 20 minutes. Add a lid and gently simmer the mixture for a further 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer. If you like your soup smooth then puree with a hand blender at this point. Now stir the warmed cream into soup.

Serve immediately, garnished with parsley.

For Halloween try hollowing out a pumpkin. Warm this in an oven pre-heated to 170°C (325°F/Gas Mark 3) for 20 minutes. Pour the soup into the hollowed-out pumpkin, garnish with parsley and serve.
