Hearty Pumpkin Soup

[cakecrumbs]

I've spent months complaining about the heat and the humidity and the fires. As we crawled through the beginning of Autumn, the weather remained unrelentingly and record-breakingly hot. Then, suddenly, Melbourne appeared to become sick of at all as well. In the last week the weather plummeted below 30°C and even granted us a whole bunch of rain

Discovered new thing today, we call that "butternut squash". So this would be a squash soup not a pumpkin soup. Wonder if you could use pumpkin in it though...

I have heard that term before. We don't call any of them squash in Australia, it's aaall pumpkin. So any pumpkin is fine to substitute, really. Most people would use a larger variety of pumpkin for this (they tend to use the cheapest pumpkin for soup and save butternut for roasting or general nomming).

I saw the name "Pumpkin Soup" and thought this was going to be a Zelda recipe. I'm still not disappointed in the slightest. :D Coincidentally, I tried butternut squash soup for the first time this past weekend, loved it, and was wanting a recipe for a good homemade version! I think the universe is trying to tell me something, haha.

I can't believe I didn't make the parallel between this and Skyward Sword at first! Gah! If only I could get Link to carry me home some pumpkin...

I think many of us would be pleased to eat pumpkin soup every day if the legendary hero were somehow involved in its making! XD

(I typoed "involve din" the first time. Now I'm wondering what a Hylian goddess has to do with pumpkin soup. It must REALLY be heavenly stuff!)

I always enjoy consuming your pumpkin soup. It's definitely very addictive and leaves you with a nice comforting feeling.
