Definitely one for the winter. Our big [[Pumpkin|pumpkin]] has been sitting under the kitchen window for months, awaiting pumpkin soup day. When we checked it's weight it was almost a stone (6 kilos) and the recipe only calls for 675 g of pumpkin flesh! So we'll be making this again in the week!

====Best recipe review====

''Basic, but nice.''

4.7/5 

The vinegar seemed to make the difference in the flavour of this soup.

===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Heat the [[Oil|oil]] and [[Butter|butter]] and sauté the [[Onions|onions]] for 5 minutes, don't [[Brown|brown]]
| In a separate pan, [[Boil|boil]] the [[Squash|squash]] pieces for 10 minutes, remove and scoop out the flesh
| Add the [[Squash|squash]] flesh and the sliced [[Potatoes|potatoes]] to the [[Onions|onions]] and seat on a low heat for 10 minutes, stirring to prevent them sticking
| If you have any other odd vegetables knocking about, chuck them in now. We found a handful of soft tomatoes, so in they went!
| Add the [[Nutmeg|nutmeg]], [[Herbs|herbs]], [[Salt|salt]] and [[Pepper|pepper]], bring to the [[Boil|boil]] and [[Simmer|simmer]] for 10 minutes or until the [[Vegetables|vegetables]] are tender
| Leave to cool a little and blend in a [[Food processor|food processor]], do this in batches if necessary
| Pour back into a clean pan and add the [[Milk|milk]] and reheat when ready to serve.
| Season to taste with [[salt]] and [[pepper]], [[Lemon juice|lemon juice]] and [[sherry vinegar]]. The lemon juice and sherry vinegar have been added to balance the sweetness of the squash, so add more or less or even omit completely, as taste requires.
