Pumpkin soup

[catsittingstill]

So I have this can of cooked pumpkin mash that has been sitting around the house.  And I was thinking about making pumpkin pie, but, well, hadn't yet.  And I thought "I wonder if you can make pumpkin soup?" and that thought went away before I mustered the gumption to do anything about it.  And a couple of days later I thought "I wonder if coconut milk would be nice in pumpkin soup?"  And that thought went away before I mustered the gumption... and then this afternoon I thunk the thought again and looked it up on the internet and lo and behold people do put coconut milk and pumpkin together in various ways.

So I took two cups of pumpkin mash and a can of coconut milk and stirred the liquid into the mush.  Then I took about a teaspoon each of ginger nutmeg, cardamom and cinnamon and stirred them into two tablespoons of sugar and scattered that over the surface and stirred it in.  It's heating now.  We'll see.

ladyat has made some marvelous pumpkin soup with just a little heat in it using pumpkin, cream and 2% milk in varying proportions depending on how healthy we are feeling like, and orzo. It is very good, especially warmed up for lunch on a cold day.

I'll push her to get the recipe on her web site.

Thanks for letting me know.

I've never tried orzo, but the recipe sounds interesting.

I didn't realize she had a separate website until you mentioned this so I had a look.

I liked the Jokes/Tips section particularly :-)
