CAMP OVEN CURRIED PUMPKIN SOUP
On our way back from Tumut and picking up the new CUB we stopped at a small market and I bought a whole pumpkin which looked lovely. Between my reader and googling I found a variety of ways to cook a Curried Pumpkin Soup. I decided to cook the pumpkin on the grill before mashing it and mixing it with the spices and stock. The end result was a great soup, just spicy enough I thought. I adapted it from a recipe at www.seriouseats.com and used similar quantities but in a slightly different order. This could be made substituting a conventional wood fire grill and camp oven.
