It’s the last one! I swear! After that, I think I have exhausted my pumpkin recipes for this year. So I’ll finish my orange phase with something quite classic and traditional: A creamy, asian flavoured pumpkin soup with teriyaki prawns. It’s spicy, comforting, quite quick to make and it also freezes well, if you want to cook ahead for busy weeknight dinners. The teriyaki king prawns are just a little extra kick. To be honest, I just like to have something to bite as well when I have soup. So here you go. The last pumpkin / squash recipe for this year. I promise you I’ll be back next week with something entirely different. So stay tuned, lovelies!
