Pumpkin Soup                                                

Easier than carving a Jack O Lantern – making a soup with your pumpkin.  You willl need to preheat your oven to 400 degrees and 1 medium size pumpkin,  1 clove of garlic,  1 leek, sliced,  1 cup shredded parmessan cheese, fresh sage and rosemary finely chopped, 1 carton/32 oz of chicken or vegetable stockCreating your Pumpkin                                                             

Creating your Pumpkin Soup

Add the above ingredients to the inside of the pumpkin.  I added a couple of dashes of nutmeg.  Replace the lid.  Place your pumpkin on a sided cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 2 hours.  Remove pumpkin, and as you scoop out your soup, scoop out some pumpkin 'meat'.  Sprinkle some parmessan cheese and croutons on top, enjoy.

Pumpkin for you

This summer I had a very nice garden, thanks to a very smelly compost that was added to the soil.  Five large pumpkins were grown and of course my grandson was the owner of two.  I have given 1 to the neighbors children and I have 2 left.  I'd love to bless two children with the remaining two pumpkins.  Do you know of two children that would enjoy a pumpkin for Halloween?
