Souper Pumpkin Recipes

I've received some "souper" sounding recipes in the mail from Stoney Lonesome fans - sounds like we need a pumpkin or two in our bonus share next week - no pressure Pablo :)

The first one comes from Joan - sounds divine and the blog it came from is beautiful - then again anything from New England is, especially this time of year.

The recipe involves roasting a pumpkin (directions included) and uses a light cream cheese in it. Must try !

The next recipe comes from Rebecca

She suggests using veggie stock instead of water, and to use additional seasoning. I was a little confused by the lack of pumpkin in the recipe ingredients - but obviously substitute pumpkin for the squash. Or try the squash - the butternut flavor would be excellent as well.

And a bonus recipe for the swiss chard - which we are sure to see at some point

if you are not a ham eater Rebecca suggests - turkey bacon, turkey sausage or just smoked turkey as worthy substitutes. 

Swiss Chard is calling your name

Happy Soup Suppers!
