With 8 million pumpkins thrown away in the UK alone each Halloween, we wanted to create a recipe to make the most of this fantastic seasonal vegetable and this Pumpkin Soup does just that. You can use the pumpkin flesh removed when you carve the pumpkin, any flesh left over after Halloween or even buy a pumpkin specifically for this recipe, especially when the supermarkets are selling them in their thousands at this time of year. To make it extra special, try serving it in the leftover pumpkin shell, but make sure it hasn’t had a scary face already carved into it! This recipe originally didn’t include rosemary, but Duncan and Eli’s friend, Beth, accidentally added some when making it last year and since then, has continued to do as it makes such a delicious addition, so we’ve used her mistake in our recipe.

This recipe uses Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil which is low in saturated fat and high in Omega 3, making this recipe ideal for a healthy and balanced diet. Simply click here to find your nearest stockist.
