If you have been following my other recipes, there are a couple of things I have made no secret of. One being I don’t like to make anything that requires too much time…or effort (unless it’s Christmas or a birthday – sorry if you come round any time other than that). So a staple at our place in winter is soup.
My favourite soup is pumpkin. This easy pumpkin soup can be whipped up in 30 minutes with very little effort. You don’t even have to peel the vegetables. Nice!
This recipe started out as the pumpkin soup from the Thermomix Everyday Cookbook, but that got a bit boring (it happens when you eat soup every week) so I changed it up a little. I hope you like it!

Tips and Variations
Tips:
Naturally you can make this by cooking the ingredients and using a food processor, however you will have to remove the skins (I imagine, haven’t used one for a while!).
As I mentioned I make my own stock and find it is quite strong, so you will have to adjust if you are using powdered or purchased liquid stock.
Variations:
Instead of all pumpkin, use half sweet potato as well.
The water component can be varied, according to your taste.
