KOLOKYTHóSOUPA (GREEK PUMPKIN SOUP)
This is a Greek version of pumpkin soup. Submitted for ZWT 6. The recipe says either water or stock, but I prefer stock because with water it's a bit bland. Also I add some more cinnamon and allspice after pureeing and adding stock and yoghurt, but that's personal preference.

Steps:
- In a large pot, heat olive oil and fry sliced onions and leek until glassy.
- Add pumpkin cubes, continue frying for 2-3 minutes, add salt, pepper and spices and again continue frying for 1-2 minutes.
- Add Ouzo and some stock or water just so the vegetables don't burn, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30-40 minutes.
- Remove from stove and puree the vegetables, then add the rest of the water or stock and heat near boiling point, stirring constantly.
- Add yoghurt, stirring, heat through (don't boil!) and add more salt and pepper to taste, if necessary.
- For garnish fry the red onion slices with some olive oil until glassy.
- Serve soup with fried onions and chopped parsley.
