Pumpkin Soup

After exploring the pumpkins and learning about how they grow the children used the pumpkin to create a delicious pumpkin soup. They cut the flesh of the pumpkin into small pieces along with carrots and onions (cut whilst wearing protective googles!). This was then put into the oven to roast before we added all of the ingredients to the slow cooker. After the pumpkin was soft we watched as the blender turned the soup into a smooth mixture and stirred in the cream. Lots of the children were willing to try the soup and some even asked for seconds!
