- Hello My Angels,
I hope you are well. I am so sorry this Vlog is a day late, but I hope it will be the perfect pick-me-up for a Thursday evening. Today, I take you with me to a Charity Clay Shoot Day in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital. It such an important day for my family, but also for the charity as we raise money for very sick children in need of extensive medical care.
Then, join me for a cozy Sunday at home as I try on some new Holland Cooper items and whip up the most gorgeous Pumpkin, White Truffle and Sage Soup.
If you enjoy this Vlog, please do let me know in the comments and don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss a thing!
All my love,
Leonora
PUMPKIN, WHITE TRUFFLE AND SAGE SOUP RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
½ a large pumpkin or 2 small pumpkins
Salt
Cracked Pepper
2 tbsp Olive Oil
White Truffle Infused Oil
30g Butter
1 Onion
2 Shallots
500ml Chicken Stock
Double Cream
Sage Leaves
METHOD
Pre-heat your oven to 170 degrees.
Chop your pumpkin in half, scoop out the inside, slice and then cube. Save the pumpkin seeds to roast if you like (see recipe below).
Pop them on a baking tray and cover in olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper - be generous!
Roast your pumpkin cubes for 40-50minutes. Eye ball this as they need to be golden brown.
Chop your shallots and onions.
Drizzle some olive oil into a non-stick frying pan and heat over a medium flame.
Add your shallots and onions, and sweat down until translucent.
Add the butter into the onion mixture and mix while on a low heat.
Then add in the pumpkin from the oven.
Then add the chicken stock and allow to bubble away on a low-medium heat.
Fry off your sage with olive oil in a non-stick frying pan.
Take your pumpkin mix off the heat and mix in approx. 200ml of double cream.
Blend together until smooth.
Pop into a bowl and top with your crispy pumpkin seeds and crispy sage leaves.
ROASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS
Rinse off and de-string your pumpkin seeds.
Pat dry and spread in a single layer on a baking tray.
Drizzle with olive oil and pop in the oven until crisp.
Its all about the presentation so find your favourite bowl, place a ladle or two of the heavenly pumpkin soup mixture, sprinkle the pumpkin seeds, place the sage leaf and drizzle a small amount of truffle oil over the top.
Enjoy! xxx

oh my! love clay shooting❤ what a fantastic event , we are making plans to move back to the uk because of such amazing events, quintesensal English history and all that , here in Nz no one really cares to celebrate seasonal fair and the pumpkins are usually roasted as part of a Sunday roast😊, and by the way HOLLAND cooper nailed it 😍😍😍wow so envious as going into summer here😪!!
Great vlog leonora. It just reminded me of watching Nigella Lawson cooking, the way you describe things!🤣
Autumn soup of dreams ❤
What a wonderful vlog. Thank you so much for taking us along for the charity event. The pumpkin soup sounds and looks delicious. You're the best.
Thank you so much darling! The pumpkin soup is so scrumptious, you must try ❤
Just amazing Leonora totally enjoyed this one x I for one adore pumkins n pumpkin spice 🎃, so made a pumkin spice latte whilst watching you make the soup ❤
Thank you so much! 🤍
Oh, Leonora, your elder brother has the loveliest smile, and i adore the report that you both have.
Your fundraiser brought a sad but joyful tear to my eye.
My young nephew was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukaemia, so watching you raise money for a children charity literally has me so emotional but inspired. Thank you all for supporting such an amazing cause.❤, that chocolate colured dress was made for you.....i adore it, and it emphasises your fantastic figure ❤
Lovely vlog, please also blog 2:54 the upcoming ski trip, I’m a skier and I love seeing the gorgeous scenery and slopes. I make butternut squash soup regularly so loved the cooking too.
Thank you so much, Leonora! What a worthy cause!
You are such a vey beautiful person inside and out. So classy and elegant and funny. I love watching your vlogs, please keep up the stunning work❤

Gorgeous dresses, wist I could get them here in Canada. Another delicious recipe vegetable at that. I will definitely try it this winter. Thank you for sharing.

I Loved Seeing Everyone Together.😍
I'm making this soup this weekend for my family, looks delicious!!!
Lovely vlog as always leanora 😊 xx
Drum roll leonora 🥁 you smashed it 👌 great vlog in every way possible 🌺🌺🌺💕
Thank you so much darling ❤
Such a wonderful vlog, thank you so much for taking us along! Your charity work is amazing. And the soup…I’m making it for Thanksgiving. My only suggestion is to please do more ‘over the pan’ footage, its so fun to see the ingredients coming together (tripod?).
Love this vlog❤
The brown dress is my favourite on you , really classy
You're hilarious! Just love everything about you & your content. Love all 3 dresses, luckily you put on an apron when cooking, I was abit worried xx thankyou just for everything xx❤❤xx
I am currently on healthy eating, I'd love to slim down and have a couple of HC items I'd love to invest in 💖 awesome vlog Leonora, always joyous 💞
Massive well done if this is something you want to do! I am also on a health kick! Coming in my next vlog! ❤
@@LeonoraSmee95Yey! Brilliant, I can't wait ❤
I love that you and your entire family are so involved in charity work! There are so many amazing causes and when you pick a charity near and dear to your heart, so much good can be generated! I also love seeing you banter a bit with your eldest brother! It’s so nice that he is so supportive and willing to be a part of your endeavors! He’s adorable and I can’t wait to see the party of 12 at the ski chalet, provided everyone is willing to be seen. Congratulations to the Smee gentlemen on their coming in second place! Well done!
Those HC sweater dresses are fabulous on you! They are perfect for casual cozy to out on the town! Great staples for an Autumnal and Winter wardrobe! I enjoyed the soup making. I’m not a huge pumpkin fan but a butternut squash may be a lovely substitute with the sage! I believe “immersion blender” was the term you were searching for... but the sound effects you made were much more fun! Thank you for another enjoyable vlog from beginning to end! 🥰😃🥰
Bella! Eres única!
Hi Leonora, I said, oh my giddy aunt a second before you said it 😄
What a fun vlog this was! A lovely charity event. The dresses looked stunning on you. I so enjoy your cooking in videos. I can't wait to make the pumpkin soup.❤
your soup looked amazing 🤩 you are a natural for a cookery program, move over Nigella there’s a new glam cook in town 😊xx
This was so special, the event for such a great cause, the lovely dresses and yummy pumpkin soup 😍 thank you Leonora for your wonderful personality 😍
Leonora, thanks for sharing the GOSH Event such a wonderful Hospital ! The clay shoot looked fun it was nice to see your family again and that Tanzanite....The HC dresses absolutely stunning. I have not made pumpkin soup before but will give it a go as yours looked yummy❤
Thank you so much darling! It was such an amazing day and I couldn’t be happier with the result ❤
Love the jewelry
Omg Leonora the Holland Cooper pieces I want it ALL 😍😍😍 would love if HC would come out with a discount code for us to use from you!❤
You look great in the chocolate knitted dress. £159.00 is a superb price. All knitted dresses were great. I love wearing knitted dresses myself, as they are so comfortable and feminine. You are doing a good job!
Lovely, you are, to invite us all to have a glimpse of this event. There is no more worthy cause than a charity for sick children. Your close relationship with family is amazing as I share one with my family! Is it not one of the most wonderful good things in life?!
To end my comments, your beautiful smile makes watching such a joyful experience. Those close-ups of your's (in this case, when you know there is some kind of 'chocolate' in the HC box!) are the icing on these vlog cakes! Thank you for always taking us along with you! ❤🙏🏼
I truly can’t thank you enough for taking the time to write such a kind message.
Thank you so much ❤
Sound is okay now...phew..thank goodness. Fabulous x
Thank goodness! Thank you so much! ❤
Wish you could sell this Pumpkin Soup in the US. That would be so yummy.😚❤❤
I’ve never been here this early, but always looking forward to a new video.
Thank you so much darling ❤
That soup 🍲 yummy
Bravo!
You always manage to put a smile on my face. Brilliant vlog Leonora.❤
Love love love the dresses! Do you have a discount code I can use for the Holland Cooper knitted dresses?
Yes Leanora you must get some "me time" 👍. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Sometimes life takes over and goes so fast. Don't forget to kick back and "smell the roses" 🌹. Mufti time is essential, i get into mine from 4pm (being retired) I'm so lucky 🍀. Sending love from Rosie O from Devon England 🇬🇧😘
Another great interesting vlog. Enjoyed seeing the Charity event, adored all the dresses. As I am useless cook you made that soup recipe look so easy, even to me. So many ❤ thanks for the past enjoyable hour.
Thank you so much darling! ❤ I promise it is rather simple but tastes delicious 🙏🏻🤍
That JAG ❤❤❤❤

I hope to be as fortunate to have a relationship with my son in law as Marcus and your MUM ❤
Leonora your Kitchen looks always so so so beautiful and clean and you're looking too pretty you are my inspiration and I wish you have a fabulous weekend💞💞🥺
That neckline on those sweater dresses looks like what is called a cowl neck.
Yes! ❤
Great day xx loved it xx
The blender is called an immersion blender or a stick blender. Love that pumpkin soup recipe and I looove truffles! I cook with truffle oil regularly, potatoes, pasta,etc. I can’t wait to try your soup recipe. Great vlog again my dear! Those dresses are fabulous too, great colors. I love fall.
Hahhaa thank you!!! It is so so YUMMY!
