Its been a while since I posted....and Pumpkin Soup

Trick or treat!!!

OK so sometimes life takes over as it has done for me the past few weeks and its been a while since I posted......its also been a while since I have done some cooking but I sure have the past few weeks.

I had friends for dinner on Friday, we ate pumpkin soup, beef and chestnut casserole - good food recipe - then I made a Chocolate Orange and Almond Cake from a recipe book and a pear tart.

My friend asked how I made the Pumpkin Soup- and I don't have an exact recipe....but this is what I do. This recipe serves 6-8

Peel and dice a small pumpkin (the smaller the sweeter)
Place in a pan with 2 diced onions, one crumbled vegetable stock cube and a cup of apple juice.
Pour over hot water to cover the pumpkin - about 1-2 litres.
Boil till the pumpkin is soft. Then blend in a blender or a hand blender is best if you have one.
Add three or four tablespoons of honey and salt and pepper to taste.
Heat and serve.

I'm back!!

So I have been absent having spent a week in Germany for work and then a week with the flu.
But I am back on the go and there will updates on here soon!!
