Today was pretty cold in Canberra. If you want to see some frosty photographs check out the morning frost from my other blog. Dinner needed to be warm and comforting and what better way than with a luxurious pumpkin soup. On the subject of other blogs, if you’ve never seen Zombeavers, check out my review.
For added flavour I caramelised some onions this afternoon. I used some cheap balsamic vinegar and not the expensive balsamic vinegar that I was given as a gift last weekend. I also used some brown sugar for that lovely sweet stickiness.
Caramelised onion
It gave the soup a quite dark complexion.
Hot and spicy pumpkin soup made with butternut pumpkin, caramelised onions and jalapeño peppers plus chili flakes and of course bacon.
Some crusty toasted bread with a little parmesan cheese helped the soup go down.
