When I first started teaching a student told me a story which stuck with me for ever after. She and her brother had a French mum and an English Dad and for that reason they were bullied and told repeatedly that they stuck of garlic. Until the day, her brother decided to chew a whole lot of garlic cloves before going to school and breathed on all the bullies. No mention of garlic, was ever made again.
I never queried the moral of that story as I fixated on the fact that not all French like garlic. I for one don't mind it cooked but I'm not a great fan when it's raw.
1 to 1.5 pounds (500 to 700gr) Pumpkin peeled and diced
6 to 7 garlic cloves (leave them whole or peel them your choice)
lemon virgin olive oil to serve
salt and pepper to taste
enough bouillon (I use Marigold) to cover 3/4 of the pumpkin

If I had the choice of passing one of the many soups, from this blog, to the next generation, this recipe would certainly be in the top 10. It's healthy, filling and right for the winter nights.
For these reasons, I link it to the #InheritanceRecipes themed Fresh Starts and hosted by Margot's Coffee 'n Vanilla

Leave it to cool for 5 minutes before transferring the vegetables to a blender with the bouillon. How much will depend on how thick you like your soup

People and their prejudices.
I love the sound of this soup, but this combo with pumpkin is new to me.
Hope to join in with the challenge this month, liking the theme.
Indeed Marlene well spotted I tamed the garlic. Next time can you kindly not use my comment box to plug your business. Thank
