Pumpkin Soup, New Zealand Recipe.

Submitted by kiwidutch

"This New Zealand recipe came from my sister Tracey, it sounded at first like too much work with two pots but when I tried it out it was so yummy that it was well worth it and it's become a family favourite for whenever pumpkins are cheap enough to indulge in here in The Netherlands since pumpkin isn't really such a "regular" veggie here. If we travel and I find pumpkin, this is the recipe I indulge in !"

This was a really nice, easy and simple soup to make. What I liked was the fact that the ingredients were ones most people have in their cupboards or fridge :)... I added a few tsps of sugar and a little bit of cream just to make it a bit more sweeter and creamier!

I made the soup for a group of people and it seemed to be a hit. It was fairly simple to make (even for a novice, like me!) as well. I would recommend giving this a try. My husband also put this soup over rice and chicken and it made a great sauce as well.

I made this for *Zaar World Tour III* - This was so easy to make and directions were very good. I used lactose free milk and left out the egg yolk otherwise I kept to the recipe. It was perfect for our winter evening and very yummy. Thank you kiwidutch… :)
