Thai Cream of Pumpkin Soup

[Rags]

Cut pumpkin into chunks, roast 30 - 40 min at 180 deg. or till cooked, then mash them.

Meanwhile saute onions in butte/oil mixture.

When onions transparent, add remaining veggies, apple and ginger.

Stir over medium heat for 5 mins. then add stock and lime leaves.

Simmer till veggies just cooked, then add the chilli, simmer another 10 minutes, then remove the lime leaves.

Add coconut milk and mashed pumpkin, stir it in, then serve.

A truly scrummy recipe. Enjoy!!

Rags,

I would have difficulty getting the lime or lemon leaves.

Would a dash of juice do or a bit of zest? What do you think?

This sounds really yummy and healthy, too. Can't beat that with a stick!!

Love,
Cindi

Dear Cindi,
Yep, some lemon or better still, lime zest will be fine. Lime will give a much better flavour than lemon. Squeeze some of the juice in as well.
I forget sometimes how lucky I am having a backyard.
I guess I better not put any recipes in that require lemon myrtle (imagine lemon grass but stronger and much more fragrant .......... I use it all the time instead of lemon grass), It's an Aussie rainforest tree, Backhousia citriodora. Damn, I HAVE to STOP giving people botany lessons!!!

I won't be back here till 23rd, , so let me know how you go.
