Pumpkin Soup

The Weather was a little bit cold and I saw a pumpkin under a table @ my kitchen... Hemm it'll be nice to eat something hot in this weather and quite long I didn't eat any pumpkin soup... so I directly searched a recipe on my book collections and found this recipe.

Methods:

1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and cook the onion and shallots for 4-5 minutes until just softened. Add the potatoes, pumpkin, stock and spices, with a little salt and black pepper. Simmer, covered, for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
