Inevitable pumpkin soup

With half a pumpkin to use up, soup was inevitable.
Roasted with pumpkin with chilli and olive oil, then added to a basic soup of onion, garlic and veg stock. Cooked for a while then blitzed.
Added double cream at the end in a suitably halloween spider fashion. Served with sourdough toast. Delicious and very filling. Those puree soups really keep you filled up.

Celery and apple soup

As someone who doesn't really like celery, this soup is a total winner. It is very fresh and light - and something very good happens when these two are together. Apple takes the edge of the celery and celery lifts the sweetness of the apple. Perfect. Celery and apple soup recipe from Shropshire's Organics.
