Soup

I quite like the sound of pumpkin and horseradish!

Let me know if it inspires you to try it, EM, and report back

Re soup, at the gym this morning in the changing room after our aquarobics session, a couple of people were talking about what they did with pumpkin.
One said she made pumpkin and horseradish soup, the other said she makes stew with it and a load of other ingredients including sweet potatoes, and green bananas, which she chops up, not bothering to peel them, and then eats the cooked skin too. I've never eaten green bananas in a stew, and can't quite get my head around pumpkin and horseradish ...

Really green bananas 9from a specialist supplier, not supermarket ripen at home) are used cooked in stews in Caribbean cooking, think I last had one in Cuba, not something I eat often! Sweet potato, pumpkin and green banana stew sounds pretty West Indian or West African to me
The only recipe I've ever made with them (in the 20th century) was a Rundown a Caribbean stew, mine was ho-hum but good ones are possible but I peeled the bananas (which is difficult)
Felicity's version uses both green bananas and pumpkin with smoked mackerel, but other proteins are possible - I wish I'd known how she prepares the banans 30 years ago
