Method

Place the pumpkin in a aluminium foil and toss olive oil over it. Seal the foil and place it in a baking pan. Roast it at 200 degrees C  at 30 to 40  minutes or until the pumpkin is soft.  Then cool it completely.  You can roast  the onion and garlic  too in the oven.  But I, roasted the garlic and onion in the sandwich toaster. 

When the pumpkin, onion and garlic cools.  Peel them and blend them.

In a pan add the stock and the blended puree with salt to taste.  Boil it, when it comes to a rolling boil, reduce the flame and let it simmer for 5 minutes on low flame.  Then add the honey, thyme and black pepper to taste, stir it well and bring it to a boil again.  Taste for salt and spice.  Take off flame add in the lemon juice.
