Hey Ho.

Happy Halloween!!!

 

*Cackle cackle!* Who goes there? Ah it be my beloved friends from beyond the grave! Come in, do come in and taste the fiendish delights on offer tonight :)

 

So I spent Halloween evening with my parents and I decided to cook up a little surprise for them. I remember my  mum making pumpkin soup one year and, it being really lovely and quite an easy thing to do, I settled on that.

When I got to the shop there were only butternut squashes left in the pumpkin section, but let me tell you, it was still, if not more, yummy and it made a brilliant Jack'o Lantern too!

Spooky Butternut Squash Soup and Roasted Seeds

Serves two to three

 

Ingredients

1 small/medium squash

salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon single cream

 

Method

Peel and dice the squash (unless you want to lake a Jack O' Lantern too,

 in which case cut his 'lid' off and hollow him out).

 

With about two cups (here I mean drinking cups, like you'd have tea in!) 

of water, add the squash to a saucepan and simmer until softened.

This may take around 30 minutes, and you may need to add a little more water.

 

Season during the cooking and when done, blend to a smooth consistency.

Add the cream and serve :)

 

So easy!

 

And for the seeds...

 

Pumpkin/squash seeds can be eaten too. Boil them up in salted water and simmer for 10 minutes, then roast on a baking tray with a shallow covering of olive oil, until golden- delish!
