Spicy pumpkin soup and grilled lamb sliders served on pita bread is a quick, easy-to-make meal that lets you be creative with different combinations of flavors.Courters’ Kitchen
This monthly cooking series features husband and wife team Barry and Kelley Courter.
BARRY SAYS: Spicy Pumpkin Soup with Lamb Sliders is another of those dishes that Kelley came up with seemingly out of nowhere and has quickly become a family favorite. I say “out of nowhere,” but the truth is it could have come from the hours she spends online, pouring over cookbooks, or from any of the dozens of food magazines she reads.
KELLEY: I don’t know where it came from, but I like the combination of the lamb and the pumpkin and the spices. And I especially like that you can come up with all kinds of combinations. You could add fresh diced apples to the soup, for example.
BARRY: Yeah, hey, why didn’t you do that?
KELLEY: Next time. I made this a few weeks ago and we fried the lamb patties and served them on Indian naan bread. This time we grilled them and put them on pita bread. I also grilled the pita briefly to get it crunchy. I think I prefer the naan version.
