Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.2 kg / 2.4 lb pumpkin (any type) ( OR butternut squash, unpeeled weight)
  • 1 onion (, sliced (white, brown, yellow))
  • 2 garlic cloves (, peeled whole)
  • 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth/stock (, low sodium)
  • 1 cup water
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2-3 /4 cup cream (, half and half or milk)

Method
 

  1. Cut the pumpkin into 3cm / 2.25" slices. Remove the skin and seeds. Cut into 4cm / 1.5" chunks.
  2. Place the pumpkin, onion, garlic, broth and water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until pumpkin is tender.
  3. Remove from heat and blend until smooth using a stick blender.
  4. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in cream, ensuring not to boil.
  5. Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with cream and parsley if desired. Serve with crusty bread.

Notes

- Use a Kabocha or Butternut squash for the best texture and flavor.
- For a smoother soup, pass it through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
- To ensure the cream doesn't split, stir it in off the heat and do not re-boil.
- Storage: Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
