A little goes a long way but it warms up my pumpkin soup and everyone loves it! Dollop of creme fraiche or sour creme doesn't hurt, either.

Oh yeah! I like curry too.

If anyone is looking for pumpkin soup, then check out my recipe at http://southerncuisine.suite101.com/arti... It's a great basic recipe. Have fun and play around. That's what makes cooking fun.

If you want to cook your pumpkin rather than buying from a can, then I also have directions for making puree at http://southerncuisine.suite101.com/arti... That recipe is looking at your Halloween pumpkin (fine too). It's a make-do southern thing. The best pumpkins are the smaller and darker colored ones done the same way.

There are loads of ways to cook pumpkin, but my all time favorite is Southern Pumpkin Pie. I have one of our favorite recipes for that at http://southerncuisine.suite101.com/arti...

Don't forget the seeds. Those are yummy as well. They are good for you too. If you cook down a pumpkin, roast your seeds. I have directions for that at http://southerncuisine.suite101.com/arti...

Pumpkin is an underrated veggie. You can get it in the can all year, but when it's fresh, try some more unusual uses. My mountain relatives grew them, so we learned to do all kinds of stuff with the big orange (or brownish orange) balls. It's fun to take a big old pumpkin and make foods from scratch. But, it's fine to do the scratch pumpkin foods too.

I haven't tried it, but a little curry would be a fun addition to the Pumpkin-Apple Soup I published last month. Probably without the blue cheese, but who knows? Worth a try.
