I was so excited to receive my Aussie Farmers Direct Food Revolution Day Box filled with fresh, local and seasonal fruit and veggies. It contained the most beautiful looking pumpkin, which quite literally hurled itself at me when the delivery guy fell up the stairs. So I went with it and created this creamy, pumpkin and cashew nut soup.

The toasted cashews add a little something- something, and the fried parsnip chips are positively to die for, I ate the first batch all on my own. If you have a nut allergy, you really don’t need the nuts, just add the cream, and if you’re vegan, then lose the cream and up the nuts. The soup is actually really good. If I do say so myself. Harry used the parsnip chips to dip in the soup, and he was a very happy almost-two-year-old.

Remember to choose appropriate textures when serving nuts to your child.

Did you see Jess’s soup? A gorgeous barley, vegetable and basil soup. Yum.

So I’ve Cooked It. I plan to Share It with family (particularly my sick hubby). And I Live It – this is genuinely my style of cooking. I hope you can do the same.
