Winter warmer with bean and pumpkin soup
The colder autumnal weather means soup in this house, and with it spooky Halloween time so time for pumpkins. This is a pick up a pumpkin on the way home and add a few tins from the cupboard kind of soup. No need to peel your pumpkin before roasting, just chop into quarters, drizzle with some oil and roast. The peel will easily side away leaving your pumpkin flesh ready for soup making.
