Everyone loves a bowl of hot, steaming pumpkin soup. This is my tried and true recipe.
Ingredients
- 2-3 tbsp oil
- 3 large onions, finely chopped
- 2.5kg butternut pumpkin, peeled, deseeded and chopped
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1.5 tablespoons vegetable stock
- 5 cups water
Method
- Heat a oil in a large non-stick pot, add the onions and saute for 5-10 minutes, until transparent and starting to brown
- Add the chopped pumpkin and potato and stir with the onion for about 15 minutes
- Add the water and vegetable stock and stirring periodically, bring to boil.
- Simmer for around 30 minutes or until pumpkin and potato are cooked
- Remove from heat and puree/blend in the pot with a hand-held blender
- Return to heat and add 1 cup of thickened cream
- Gently heat through without boiling
- Serve with a dollop of cream
O’s Tips
If they’re really peckish, serve with some crusty bread.
Adding some roasted pumpkin seeds on top with the dollop of cream is yummo and adds some texture.
