Creamed Potato and Pumpkin Soup image

This is a delicious version of potato and pumpkin soup. I use Kent (jap) pumpkin which is slightly sweeter than most. It is a hearty soup which can be eaten as a main meal particularly during winter; serve it with warm crusty bread. In fact I only make it during autumn and winter. I use a Bamix to puree the soup in the pot which saves having to scoop it into a blender or food processor.
