soup recipes please
10 Answers
Hi there,
am cooking this afternoon for winter warmer recipes for tomorrow due to our nasty, wet, grey, cold weather that is signifying the end of the beginning! soon to be winter, boo: then Christmas, hurrah.
anyways, I have a pumpkin which I've made soup before from (not this actual pumpkin of course) but wondered if anyone has a superdouper recipe for it. I also have some old cauliflower that isn't relly good enough for steaming but isn't yet past it enough to throw on the compost.
So, anyone know any delicious pumpkin or cauliflower recipes please?????
thanks very much, as always

Brocolli and stilton is easy to do:
chop some celery and a small onion and put in the bottom of a big saucepan with just enough water to cover. Add brocolli and more water if needed. Bring to the boil then let it simmer for about 5 or 10 minutes. Whizz it all up with a hand blender. Crumble some stilton (or cheddar if you don't like Stilton) into the mix and blend again.

Pumpkin or cauliflower have I none, but what I do have I will freely give you mimi... the best winter chill chasing soup has to be this one... somewhat of an effort required, but well worth it:
