You cant let the autumn season go past without at least one big batch of pumpkin soup! It has been my main way of celebrating Halloween this year. This is a little bit of a twist by adding orange, but the flavours work really well together.
My top tip is to never throw the pumpkin seeds away – wash them and lay them out on a baking tray, sprinkle over with some paprika and salt, then roast for about 20 minutes until golden. They can be put in a jar and added to salads or snacked on – or sprinkled over this soup recipe.
Serve with crusty bread for scraping out the remains of the bowl.
