I have developed this recipe out of several different versions and adapted it to the right amounts and tastes, now I will share with you all the true magical potion of Halloween!

Ingredients:
1 kilo pumpkin flesh, deseeded
25g unsalted butter
380mls whole milk
3 tsp curry powder
750mls vegetable stock
2 garlic cloves
2 large onions, chopped finely
1 red chilli, chopped finely
250g cheddar cheese
1 can sweetcorn, drained
Salt and pepper

Method:
1. In a large pan, melt the butter and saute the onions, crushed garlic, drained sweetcorn and the red chilli
until nice and soft. and add the pumpkin flesh, cheese, stock, curry powder and seasoning.
2. When the soup mixture is cooked (the pumpkin is really soft) blend the mixture using a hand blender, food processor or blender until nice and smooth.
3. Warm the milk in a separate pan, but do not boil. Then stir into the soup gently.
4. Serve at once or put aside and gently reheat when ready to eat, serve with hunks of buttered bread!
