Pumpkin soup with shrimp and lime
6 cups pumpkin cut into 2 inch cubes
3 leeks chopped
4 cups chicken stock
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 lime (zest and juice)
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 cup whipping cream
8 oz cooked shrimp (shelled)
6-8 cherry tomatoes halved
2 tbs chives chopped
In slow cooker combine pumpkin, leeks, stock, salt and pepper cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high 4-6 hours
Strain vegetables, reserving stock. Purée vegetables with 1 cup reserved stock until smooth.
Return to slow cooker, add remaining stock, lime zest and juice, cayenne, cream and shrimp. Cook on high for 20 mins.
Garnish with tomatoes and chives.
I suppose you can make in a regular pot on the stove, just remove and purée when the pumpkin and leeks become soft.
*edit* First time I made this the lime was rather overpoweing I suggest you cut it in half or at least dont squeeze the lime to hard trying to get all the juice.
