Organic recipe of the week – seasonal pumpkin soup

21 October 2015 By IOA Webmaster

With pumpkins for sale everywhere it is a great opportunity to try a seasonal soup on these dark autumnal days. At this time of the year organic growers have a range of edible pumpkins which are great in soup, stews and pies! Make sure to get an edible pumpkin as the large orange ones are not that tasty.
