Jamaican Pumpkin Soup

Picked up a chunk of Jamaican Pumpkin at the market and decided to do a soup. Found a recipe on line that was quite similar to squash soup using onions, garlic, bay leaf, thyme as well as a Scotch Bonnet pepper. Now I am more than a little leary of this pepper, plus I did not have any, so I substituted a Habanero pepper that I had in my garden. This pumpkin, which is obviously a type of squash, is very bright orange even after being cooked. Bit stringy, but because quite smooth when I put everything through the blender. I did remove the pepper before blending. Nice bite, and lovely flavour. Colour is very strong. Great winter soup. Warms one up both with the heat, and the sunny colour.
