JennieG's pumpkin soup - after eating this I guarantee you won't try the bland sort again.
Brown one large or two small roughly chopped onions in a little oil. Stir in a rounded teaspoon or so of green Thai curry paste and mush it all around for a minute until your sinuses start to run. Add peeled chopped raw pumpkin and stir for a minute or 2, then add a few cups of chicken or vegetable stock, cover and simmer until the pumpkin is cooked. Remove the vegetables and stock and blend or process until smooth, then return to the pan and stir in about a cup of coconut milk. Heat until warm, don't boil or you will curdle the coconut milk. Serve topped with a sprinkling of chopped coriander leaves and accompanied by a nice fresh warm bread roll and butter.
