Hmm, well I like puddings - like apple crumble, golden syrup pudding, bread and butter custard with icecream - yum! Nothing like pumpkin soup with chunky bread either!

Of course these are all things we have in Aus, don't know whether you have them in the US - and it's spring here at the mo, not Autumn.

Nope, savoury. I believe you don't eat pumpkin like we do here. It's a side vegetable - like mashed potato we have mashed pumpkin.

Pumpkin Soup

2 cups chopped pumpkin (japala)
1 cup chopped potato
1 onion chopped
milk (or cream)
Chicken stock
cracked pepper

Put all ingredients(except milk) in a saucepan and add enough chicken stock to cover. Simmer until veges are soft. Blend with a stick blender until smooth then finally stir in milk until desired consistency is acheived (I like it fairly thick). finally add pepper to taste.
Serve with crusty bread or parmesan croutons. Yum!
