Pumpkin: carriage and soup-stuff

Fairy godmother though I may want to be; I am limited by the physical laws of the reality I ended up in to be a mere kitchen princess. In the spirit of mimicking house mates I present you with another PVW classic.

Orange soup

• 5 kg firm pumpkin
• 0.5 kg carrots
• 1 red bell pepper
• 0.5 kg onions
• 0.5 kg potatoes
• generous amounts of butter
• a large dash of olive oil
• 1 cube of vegetable stock

Melt butter in a large pot on medium heat. Dice your vegetables, add the stock and olive oil. Broil for half an hour, add water whenver neccessary. Leave to a soft broil for another hour. Mix thoroughly. Add salf, pepper, powdered ginger and cumin to taste.

Goes well with roasted chili croutons
