Super Creamy Pumpkin Soup

• 1 - 1 1/2 lb fresh pumpkin (fresh preferably, seeds out, skin off)
• 4 cups chicken stock or 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 red pepper
• 2 carrots
• 1 large red onion
• 1 red chile, deseeded (if you want some kick) (optional)
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped or 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 ounces creamed coconut
• salt
• pepper

1. Set broth boiling, chop skinned pumpkin into pieces, toss into broth.
2. Skin carrots, chop, toss inches.
3. Follow with red pepper, onion, and chili.
4. Boil until very soft (usually about half an hour).
5. If veg is still floating, drain off some broth (you can't drain too much as you can always add back, but can't take more out if it's not thick enough :).
6. Either use hand blender or upright, blend til smooth.
7. Add cream, butter, coconut, and garlic.
8. Salt and pepper to taste.
9. Eat then, simmer for a while, or freeze. It all works with this one.
