The Pumpkin King!

So, three massive pumpkin lanterns later, I'm left with a good two and a half pounds of flesh ... what to do? I know, use that chicken stock I made from Sunday's roast and make Lantern Soup http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/lanternsouppumpkinan_8073 . Sage from the garden, a left over sweet potato and around 2/3rds of the pumpkin flesh , banged in a BIG pan and simmered for about half an hour until all squishy. A quick whiz with the handheld whizzer and a golden dark yellow soup that is (on account of the sage) warming and tasty. Had some for lunch today, the tastes have begun to mix nicely and it was fantastic!
