Freezing not recommended. A hot and spicy autumnal soup with no points!! Perfect as a "stop gap" when hunger persists. Ingredients Low fat cooking spray 1 large onion chopped 2 garlic cloves, chopped finely 1lb 10 oz pumpkin peeled, de-seeded and chopped roughly 1.2 litres (2 pts) vegetable stock salt and freshly ground pepper (if necessary) 1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes (we used chilli powder) snipped fresh chives to garnish 1. Heat a large saucepan and spray with the low fat cooking spray (not sure if this is available in France. Gently fry the onion and garlic for a few minutes until softened. add a little water to the pan if necessary to stop them sticking. 2. Add all the other ingredients except the chives and bring to the boil. Simmer for 20- 25 minutes until the pumpkin is soft, then puree in a food processor or push through a sieve with the back of a wooden spoon. 3. Just before serving check the seasoning and scatter with chives. Variations: Butternut or other squash is equally delicious in this recipe.    Report
