Australian Pumpkin Soup

Australian Pumpkin Soup is made from what North Americans call squash.  I use the Butternut and Buttercup squash.

Ingredients:
1 Buttercup squash
1 Butternut squash
1 Sweet potato
2 leeks (white part only)
1 Litre Vegetable stock
Salt, pepper & coriander
250 mls sour cream



Optional - you can replace sweet potato with potato and also add onion

Cut up squash, sweet potato and leek into large pan.  Add Vegetable stock.  Bring to boil and simmer for 20 minutes.  Blend with a stick blender until smooth.  Add sour cream and mix through.  Add salt, pepper and coriander to taste.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream and don't forget nice freshly baked olive or cheese bread!

Sounds delicious. Don't think Paul will eat it as he is not a squash fan. I will give it a try and let you know what I think. Thanks

Made the soup today....very easy, other than peeling the squash. Makes a generous amount, delicious. I will share it with Emma.

oh, and a tip for peeling the squash, cut it in half length-wise, and use a spoon to scoop the squash out of the thick skin, rather than peeling.
