Guacamole
This is absolutely delicious with nachos or with chilli. It has a chilli in it, but I don't find it too spicy. If you don't have fresh chillies then a small pinch on chilli flakes or powder works really well too. Be careful with these as they are very spicy.

Pumpkin Soup
I chose to include my family's recipe for pumpkin soup because my mom makes it for me when it's cold outside. It is very tasty and good with bread. I like helping to chop up the vegetables and sprinkle on the pumpkin seeds.
Method
1. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan, then gently cook 2 finely chopped onions for 5 mins.
2. Add the pumpkin, cut into chunks, to the pan, then carry on cooking for 8-10 mins, stirring occasionally until it starts to soften.
3. Pour the vegetable stock into the pan and season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then simmer for around 10 mins or until the squash is soft.
4. Pour the cream into the pan, bring back to the boil, then purée with a blender.
