Pumpkin Soup

Serves: 6-8

• 1/4 head cauliflower
• 4 litres chicken or vegetable stock

• Salt & pepper, to taste
• 300ml thickened cream

Method:

• Peel and roughly chop all vegetables into about 2cm pieces and place in a large soup pot with the minced garlic
• Our the chicken stock over the vegetables, if the stock does not cover the vegetable add enough water so the vegetables are just covered

• Add in the nutmeg and cream stirring though until well combined and serve.
