If you've got pumpkins, you'll want to make some pumpkin soup. This one has an intriguing flavour and a smooth, creamy texture. I stole some peanut butter from the jar I use to bait the mouse traps. I prefer to base it on a good rooster stock but if you want a vegetarian or vegan version, a good vegetable stock would suffice. Makes 4-6 portions. You might like to try slow cooker pumpkin and coconut soup too. A filling meal served with swedish rye bread.]]> http://www.thekitchengarden.co.nz/index.php/2011/03/slow-cooked-peanut-pumpkin-soup/feed/ 0 http://www.thekitchengarden.co.nz/index.php/2011/03/eating-hooligans/ http://www.thekitchengarden.co.nz/index.php/2011/03/eating-hooligans/#comments Thu, 03 Mar 2011 19:50:07 +0000 Rachel http://www.thekitchengarden.co.nz/?p=2859

Mini pumpkins are ready to eat now and make a marvellous receptacle for all types of stuffing. If you fill them with grated gruyere cheese and some crushed garlic you end up with individual cheesy pumpkin soups in their own bowl. I used the kernels from half a cob of corn, about 50g of grated cheddar cheese and a dollop of homemade pesto to fill these two 'hooligan' pumpkins. A beaten egg and a few herbs would work well too. Baked at 200 degrees for 30 minutes with ten minutes rest the flesh is tender and you can choose whether or not you eat the skin.]]> http://www.thekitchengarden.co.nz/index.php/2011/03/eating-hooligans/feed/ 0 http://www.thekitchengarden.co.nz/index.php/2010/05/baked-pumpkin-medley/ http://www.thekitchengarden.co.nz/index.php/2010/05/baked-pumpkin-medley/#comments Thu, 06 May 2010 01:44:35 +0000 Rachel http://www.thekitchengarden.co.nz/?p=2060 http://www.thekitchengarden.co.nz/index.php/2010/05/baked-pumpkin-medley/feed/ 0 http://www.thekitchengarden.co.nz/index.php/2009/05/why-cook-pumpkin-cake-in-a-slow-cooker/ http://www.thekitchengarden.co.nz/index.php/2009/05/why-cook-pumpkin-cake-in-a-slow-cooker/#comments Mon, 11 May 2009 00:08:14 +0000 Rachel http://www.thekitchengarden.co.nz/?p=786 http://www.thekitchengarden.co.nz/index.php/2009/05/why-cook-pumpkin-cake-in-a-slow-cooker/feed/ 0 http://www.thekitchengarden.co.nz/index.php/2009/04/pumpkin-and-coconut-soup/ http://www.thekitchengarden.co.nz/index.php/2009/04/pumpkin-and-coconut-soup/#comments Wed, 29 Apr 2009 08:37:33 +0000 Rachel http://www.thekitchengarden.co.nz/?p=721 http://www.thekitchengarden.co.nz/index.php/2009/04/pumpkin-and-coconut-soup/feed/ 0
