Answer 1

this is a tough one, im not sure what pumpkin is easier for you to get, maybe you should use canned pumpkin?

1 cup onions, chopped
4 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup hard margarine or butter
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup vegetable stock
3 cups vegetable stock
1 (14 ounce) can pumpkin, without spices
1/2 cup light cream
Saute onion and green onion in margarine in large saucepan.

You can also make a delicious soup from butternut or acorn squash. Won't be the same as pumpkin, but just as yummy!!

Enjoy!

Fairytale Pumpkin
Sugar (pie) Pumpkin

Or just use a canned product. It's already got the excess water pulled out of it, so you can replace that moisture w/ flavored stock.
