Fresh Produce Friday.

Well my delivery will come today. On the menu next week are some ideas I did not use last week such as meat pies (my lunch did not happen due to sick children), teriyaki chicken and probably a soup of some kind.

If you need some grand ideas for crockpot recipes, Sandra is hosting a slow cooking Thursday.

Pumpkin soup

This is the best pumpkin soup I have ever tasted. Mrs N made it for our weekend at the lake house.

Pumpkin soup

60 gm butter

about 2 kg chopped pumpkin

2 medium onions

2 teaspoons sugar

salt

5 cups chicken stock

1-2 cups milk

pepper

2 teaspoons garum masala or curry powder

Heat the butter in a large saucepan. Add the pumpkin and stir until the pieces are well coated with butter.

Cover and cook gently for 10 minutes.

Add onion, curry, sugar, salt, stock and millk. Replace lid and cook over a low heat until pumpkin very tender. Puree. Add nutmeg when serving.

I am trying it in the crockpot and leaving the milk till the end. Hope it works as well. This is dinner with homemade bread tonight.
