Imagine my surprise….. whilst looking for some frozen peas the other day, I found a little plastic cup filled to overflowing with frozen water, grass, rocks, flowers and I don’t want to know what else. It was propped up against some frozen pita bread in the depths of my freezer.
“AVA”
“What Mumma?”
“What is this?”
“Umm Moo Soup – what does it look like!”
Well I won’t say here what it looked like, but I just love the whole dar fred type expression Ava wore on her face. I obviously have no idea about cow’s and the fact that they love soup.
Well we are truly catered for if a cow comes over for dinner, but if it’s just plain old humans, maybe we will just stick to my good ol’ favorite bacon and pumpkin soup – I know it’s a winter dish, but in light of all the rain we had on the weekend I think I can just get away with it.
1 large pumpkin (the sort that you carve at Halloween)
Garlic
Red onion
Enough chicken stock to cover it all – preferably homemade from left over roast
Finely grated parmesan
Greek yoghurt
Heat oil in big pot, add the garlic and onion and cook until it has softened. Add bacon and cook until it has started to brown. Add the pumpkin – push it around with the wooden spoon for a bit and then cover the lot with the chicken stock. Let it boil and then cover it and let it simmer for about half an hour. Put it in a blender until smooth. Gently reheat, add parmesan, salt and ground black pepper and then serve with a dollop of yoghurt…..yum
Moo soup definitely to cool for pre-school
