  • 1 onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 kg peeled pumpkin, coarsely chopped 
  • 1 medium potato, coarsely chopped 
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • dash of nutmeg (optional)

2. Add pumpkin, potato and chicken stock, pour in water to cover the vegetables and bring to the boil.
3. Simmer for 30 minutes, add salt (and nutmeg if you wish).
4. Blend the soup, you may need to do a few batches.
