Saturday Night: Pumpkin Soup

We picked up a nice reddish pumpkin at the market yesterday, so last night's dinner was pumpkin soup. Our oven isn't completely functional yet, so I browned the squash pieces in olive oil instead of roasting them. This obviously wasn't the same, but the soup still ended up being downright edible.

I served the soup with fresh walnuts (toasted in a bit of oil butter for a couple of minutes to bring out the flavor), chopped chives, and creme fraiche.

We also had a green salad. We should have also had bread, but we managed to confuse ourselves at the store so we didn't end up with any.
