Pacific Giant Pumpkin Soup
This pumpkin makes the best soup.
Better than butternut Squash.
Of course pumpkin is a squash. All squashes and pumpkins aren't created equal.
I garnish my squash soup with strawberry homemade preserves. Some use cream or sour cream or yogurt even.
This soup is made with pumpkin 5 cups steamed
Celery and 1/2 onion, 1 carrot, 5 florets cauliflower, vegetable broth, hot pepper flakes and curry powder with salt and pepper.
I cook ingredients until softish then purée until smooth.
I keep it warm all day in a thick black bean pot and serve with a thick slice of walnut cranberry artisan bread.
And salad......
Great winter fare.

Fremont Trip This Morning..
A very popular place in Seattle to live.
People are friendly, many newcomers who work for Amazon, companies like that have the money to live here.
It's likely you'd fit in if you're artistic, into energetic healing, introverted I'd say.
People are very social but interested in ideas.
Still fall after all
:)
