four potatoes, three capsicum, one zucchini, three carrots, one eggplant, on quarter pumpkin, three parsnips, two onions

I got a $30 mystery veggie box from QVM and am planning my weeks food. Thought I would share here for a bit of fun to see what other suggestions I get. I also have some chuck steak in the freezer and a pretty good pantry.

My ideas so far include

  • pumpkin and parsip soup
  • maybe grilling those capsicums as a side dish
  • mashed potatoes and a hearty stew (onions and carrots)

But I am open to suggestions!

    seed, oil & season the pumpkin with salt, pepper, cardamom and roast cut side down until soft, cool & scoop out meat

    sweat dice carrots, celery, onion (season as you go)

    add pumpkin

    cover with chicken stock & cook

    use immersion blender to puree, finish with a little butter

    Cardamom pumpkin soup is demanded by my family in the winter

        If you don’t have an immersion blender, use care when blending hot food, it needs to be vented or you’ll be wearing hot soup (so will the walls…and ceiling…probably some on the dog too.

        Also, grind the cardamom or use a strainer to remove the large pieces after pureeing.

        Enjoy!
