PUMPKIN SOUP

Ingredients
pumpkin (any type) OR butternut squash ,
1 onion, sliced (white, brown, yellow)
2 garlic cloves , peeled whole
3 cups (750ml) vegetable or chicken broth/stock , low sodium
1 cup (250 ml) water
▢Salt and pepper
FINISHES:
, half and half or milk
Instructions

Cut the pumpkin into 3cm / 2.25" slices. Cut the skin off and scrape seeds out (video is helpful). Cut into 4cm /
1.5" chunks.
Place the pumpkin, onion, garlic, broth and water in a pot - liquid won't quite cover all the pumpkin. Bring to a
boil, uncovered, then reduce heat and let simmer rapidly until pumpkin is tender (check with butter knife) -
about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and use a stick blender to blend until smooth (Note 3 for blender).
Season to taste with salt and pepper, stir through cream (never boil soup after adding soup, cream will split).
Ladle soup into bowls, drizzle over a bit of cream, sprinkle with pepper and parsley if desired. Serve with crusty
bread!
Recipe Notes:
1. Pumpkin - ~2.4lb / 1.2kg pumpkin before peeling and removing seeds. Approximate is fine - use the liquid
levels in the video as a guide for quantity.
To make this with canned pumpkin puree, you will need 2 cans. Add it in place of the fresh pumpkin and follow
recipe as is.
2. Cream - cream will add a layer of richness to the mouthfeel. But it is truly still delicious even made without - I
often make it with just milk. To add a rich finish, I sometimes stir through a bit of butter instead!
3. Pureeing - you can use a blender BUT you must make sure that the soup is cooled slightly before blending it,
otherwise you will find out the hard way that hot soup + blender = soup explosion (literally, the lid will blow off
the blender when you start blending it).
4. Flavour variations - see in post for list of suggestions, including quantities.
5. Nutrition per serving, assuming 4 servings and made with cream.
