    These all sound good... re the canned pumpkin, is this just cooked pureed pumpkin? I'm in England & I've never seen it for sale canned, but there are whole pumpkins for sale everywhere and really cheap, so thinking I could just chop boil & puree it myself?

    Yeah it's the same (I roast it).

    Yum.. the pumpkin latte sounds so good. I made a pumpkin pie on the weekend.. never had one before and had been meaning to try it! Im in Australia so it's not readily available. It was so delicious. I think I'm gonna be obsessed for a while.. I'm already planning to make another one next weekend omggg

    Pumpkin soup.

    1 small butternut pumpkin (or any other kind will do)
    about 3 large potatoes
    2 onions
    1 carrot
    chicken or vegetable stock (stock cubes will do)
    1large tin creamed corn (400g I think)
    1 small container (200ml) sour cream
    Spices - paprika, cayenne pepper, to taste

    dice all fresh vegetables and then cook on stove top or in slow cooker in stock and water to cover until vegetables soft enough to mash.
    Mash with a hand held blender or in food processor or with fork or potato masher
    Then add tin of creamed corn and sour cream and spices and stir until all mixed through.

    Very easy.

    Exact quantities do not matter - 2 carrots or 4 potatoes or the exact size of the pumpkin - slightly different results still taste as good.
