Wolfgang Kraiss
I cook this soup once a year, but I make 12 litres in one go. I’ve bought a huge pan to do it in, which doesn’t get used for anything else.
It’s a highlight for my son and me. We really enjoy chopping and preparing it together and it brings us closer. He doesn’t actually like vegetables that much and would never eat pumpkin on its own, but he feasts on the cream of pumpkin soup every time and thinks it’s incredibly delicious.
