As they say in Game of Thrones, “Winter is coming”. It’s getting cold so that means warming comfort foods. In my mind for a comfort soup it has to be a spicy pumpkin soup, not a boring creamy bland soup but a soup with kick.
Now ordinarily I’d start my soup by frying off some streaky bacon but tonight I used some classic SPAM® because I still have some left over from last night’s meal 
SPAM® is my SECRET ingredient.

Now for an added treat I wanted to share with some my other meals from today
For morning tea my amazing work mates brought in a Flute bakery cake for my 50th birthday. They are totally awesome.
For lunch I had an Irish lamb hot pie from Urban Bean Espresso Bar. It reminded me of today’s notquitenigella post.
So how do you make a spicy pumpkin soup? Would you add spam?
