i roasted the gramma pumpkin with sesame seed oil and coriander seeds… and it was delicious on its own.

thanks again!

Sue: When I first read the recipe I realised I didn’t have a blender with which to blend. Then I figured my Nanna probably didn’t have one either and yet probably made soup. And I do have a potato masher! Chunky it is. I’m a little luke warm on the bacon but I’m adding natural yoghurt to everything lately, so I’ll give that a go. :-)

I like a good pumpkin soup. Roasting it with spices is a great idea. Personally I’m a huge fan of chunky, I use a potato masher to blend my pumpkin soup. Adding bacon always helps too, as well a dollop of natural yoghurt at the end.

Thanks for the lovely comment… I’m not sure if it’s nirvana though…perhaps one of the lower states of enlightenment though :) I probably have to admit now that roasting things with spices is my default mode of operation these days… I go through so much fennel and coriander seeds it’s not funny… But lets just pretend I do it because I think it’s going to suit the dish perfectly :)

Dee, thanks for making me come up with it in the first place… I hope to hear good reports of your oven endeavours shortly…
