Pumpkin soup is not my "go to" soup. In fact, it's not even in my top 10. It hasn't been a favourite ever since we made a friend's little sister sick with it way way way back when.

Well, the holiday is well and truly over..sob..sob.
As much as I love the freedom of travelling (especially in France), a small part of me always loves coming home to my own bed, my own shower and my everyday eating routine. Are you the same?

This soup makes me smile.
I could eat it all day every day. And the good news is, there's no strict recipe to follow - use any green vegetable you have in your crisper. The perfect recipe to use up all those little left over pieces that have perhaps seen better days.

The Campbell's tinned variety.
We grew up with this soup simmering away on the stove top making the house smell a little...how should I put it.....icky! Needless to say, I never touched the stuff!
Home-made Pea and Ham Soup on the other hand...now that's a whole other story.....
