Cream of Pumpkin
Tonight we've had our first snow falling on Montreal, so I was inspired to cook my favorite fall soup. This is also my first adaptation of a regular recipe to the Thermomix, so I'm quite proud of it even if it's very simple.
I use big chunks of thawed frozen pumpkin. I'm not sure that you can use fresh pumpkin, unless you cook it longer...
1 small onion
30g butter
800g pumpkin
400g water
500g diced spiced tomatoes
50g pasta
350g milk
Salt and pepper
Cut onion in half and put in bowl with butter. Set 3 min at 80° speed 4.
Then add pumpkin, water, pasta, tomatoes, and cook 25 min at 100º, speed 1.
Blitz for 1 minute, speed 4 to 10. Add milk, salt and pepper.
Serve with chunks of ham and shredded cheddar cheese.

Good work MrSpock - sounds like a long cold winter ahead.
Congratulations on your first conversion - the pasta to thicken it is an interesting twist

I agree Thermomixer. It could be used on any blended soup which is usually too thin. Thanks MrSpock. You are starting your soup season and we are just coming to the end of ours although throw me a cool day in summer and I will still whip up a soup :D :D

Thanks guys. ;D
The pasta trick is great if you want to keep down your fat content, rather than using cream to thicken.
