Recipe: Lillies Pumpkin soup

On the last night of my holiday myself and my daughter Lillie decided we had to have a night in the garden.

By 4pm the log burner was up to temperature and we were ready to go.

Lillie and i spent the evening carving Pumpkins and catching up about what she had been upto over the week she has been off school, She does make me Smile as her stories and opinions are great.

Once Lillie had finished she decided that Pumpkin soup was going to be made from the trimmings for her Mam, this recipe was what she came up with and the results turned out well.
