Winter is definitely in the air down here in (near) Melbourne town.
It’s time for snuggling up with cups of tea, soups and stews. I love this time of year, I love rain, I love dressing in layers, and I especially love winter sun.
I love soups, creamy, thick, watery, spicy, they’re the best!
Before J and I had meet, he’d never cooked a soup, can you believe this. I was quick to rectify this. And now he experiments with the best of us!

Yes, it’s getting cold. I actually am a summer person. I don’t like the cold at all. The only thing I do like about it is slow cooking and making soups. What a lovely looking pumpkin soup xx
Charlie, I also love summer. For me it’s one or the other, I hate the in between! But I do love soup!
I’m not a big soup eater but I have vowed to start this winter!
Claire, I can’t believe it! No soup for you! Well you must rectify that immediately!
I too am a soup fan – particularly spicy ones. In fact, inspired by your post, I think I will have pumpkin soup for lunch today. Yum.
I love soup, but not a fan of super spicy ones.
Good for you for teaching him how to make soup! It’s such an essential kitchen skill and this looks great 🙂
Lorraine, I couldn’t believe he’d never made a soup! But I’m glad he’s started.
Ohh great recipe and its my favourite too for winter PUMPKIN soup! I have it all year round regardless of it being winter or summer hehe 🙂
Yeah me too, I eat it all the time and I love it!
I’ve made one soup in my life…until then I just presumed soup was something that just existed in cans.
You should definitely get into it! Soups are so easy and delicious!
I love pumpkin soup on a cold night with buttery toast. Its hard to believe that J had never made soup before – it is so easy to do. Glad you taught him.
Lizzie, pumpkin soup is my absolute favourite! I couldn’t believe that’d he’d never made soup before either, but I’m glad he’s rectified that!
Delicious! Can’t wait to try it!!
It really is, and perfect for these cold winter nights.
It’s still not too cold here but soup weather is on its way. Pumpkin is by far my favourite soup.
I wish it wasn’t that cold here but it is. I think pumpkin soup is my favourite too.
Have you ever tried roasting the pumpkin before adding to soup? Now THAT is heaven….
I have tried it and I love it if I have the time, it definitely adds a wonderful sweetness to the soup.
I didn’t particularly like pumpkin growing up but I love it now, especially in soups. When you come over I’ll make you my spiced pumpkin soup 🙂
V I would love to try your spiced pumpkin soup.
