Pumpkin and Almond Soup image

A lovely and easy homemade creamy pumkin soup, even my son who does not like soup ate it and loved it! Found it in a magazine and it was lovely, although I did not use the garnish, but I think I will try it next time! Recipe suggest Queensland Blue or Japanese pumpkin, but I am sure most kinds would do!
