Here is a nice, simple pumpkin soup recipe I posted before. It is from
_Twelve Months of Monastery Soups_ by Brother Victor-Antoine d'Avila
Latourrette. Feel free to use goat milk in it. You can also use stock
instead of water.

Potage au Potiron
Pumpkin Soup
6-8 servings

6 cups water (more if necessary)
4 cups pumpkin, peeled and cubed
2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 carrots, large, thinly sliced
2 onions, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
pinch tarragon
salt and pepper to taste
1 quart milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped

1. Pour the 6 cups of water into a large pot. Add the pumpkin with the
potatoes and the carrot and bring to a boil. Add the onion, minced
garlic, tarragon, salt and pepper and continue boiling for about 20
minutes. Reduce heat and simmer for another 20 minutes.

2. Blend the soup in a blender and then pour it back into the pot. Add
the milk and the oil, stirring well, and over low heat bring the soup to
a boil again. Simmer for about 10 minutes and serve immediately in
well-heated soup bowls, garnishing each with a pinch of parsley.
