Pumpkin soup

[237SJ]

I`m going to make some pumpkin soup. Is it worth roasting the pumpkin first? Does it make any difference to the flavour?

Thanks. I`ve got some rosemary (and thinking about it, it`ll probably make it easier to remove the flesh from the outer skin). Obviously I`m going to cut it up first LOL

Pumpkin soup sounds awesome, with the witching season just around the corner is it easy to make? method wise or as above then pulp it?

Here's a recipe for pumpkin soup which doesn't involve roasting it, but does show you how good it looks served in the hollowed out shell. Such fun!
