Any chance of substituting the pumpkin with some other nice vegetable? I hate eating pumpkin but do thoroughly enjoy it in pumpkin and carrot soup! Funny that, isn't it.

I also make these using zucchinis, you could also add grated carrot with the zucchini, using 500g all up and your substituting so follow the same steps including squeezing the water out of vegies before adding all other ingredients

I have only used pumpkin
