Hi GP247! Thank you, and yes I an enjoying having the Thermie in the kitchen . I actually look forward to cooking more now then ever. As to the pumpkin soup, my consultant used carrots instead of sweet potato. And she also didn't skin the carrots or pumpkin, and included the pumpkin seeds in the soup. The result was slightly seedy (finely blended texture - speed 8-9, I think) but doesn't detract from taste. My consultant also mentioned to use slightly less water so the soup would be thicker. When I added rice to the pumpkin soup to feed my 16mth old, he ate it up without hesitation. He loved it! Hope that helps. Best, WV

Thanks, Amy! This recipe looks delicious...I showed the picture to my 5yo and asked if he'd like these for his lunchbox and without hesitation said "Yes". That's two votes from us

My TM arrived today! Yay!! We had two meals out of it today, a pumpkin soup that my consultant kindly made in order to show me the ropes around the machine, and then a mushroom spinach risotto that I made myself this evening. Both dishes were delicious! Can't wait to try out another recipe tomorrow morning. Perhaps a cooked oat porridge or eggs in the TM for breakfast....I love poached eggs and I wonder if this can be done in the TM. Must say, I am pretty please with my purchase and early Xmas present Thanks everyone for your suggestions and help.

Hi WenV....do you have your new helper yet?
I just got mine last night, already feel like I made the right choice and having hubby at my one on one demo was a great idea to help
seal the deal 
He loved my beetroot salad as part of his dinner tonight (tick)...I served it on top of some cos lettuce with rocket and topped it off with cubed
avocado and a few pepitas (pumpkin seeds) extra drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
I think we have found a wonderful forum to be part of, don't you?
Good luck with your TM delivery
Your beet root salad sounds yummy!! Will have to give it a try.

Hi Girlpower247 and Greyhoundmum! Unfortunately, my TM has yet to be delivered to my consultant. But I did receive a text today confirming she should get it tmrw and has made an 11am appt with me to drop it off. Must be the busy Xmas period and consultants are doing the delivery instead of couriers to ensure Pre-Xmas delivery. I agree that this forum is wonderful! So many nice and welcoming members who are so helpful. Can't wait to make healthy meals with it.

Thanks, Greyhoundmum! I live SoR but may check out the other place if I happen to be that way.
I just got news that my TM is arriving tomorrow. Hooray!!!
Any suggestions for an "easy recipe" to start off with? I've promised my 5yo that I would make him a slushy like at the shop, and he's all excited by it. Now to look for a healthy slushy recipe...

Hi obbie, Yvette, AlexisMarya & Jamberie! Thank you all for your warm welcomes...thank you for the tips. I've already started saving recipes to use with the thermomix. But have yet to stock up on essential items. Said to my husband yesterday that we should visit Kakulas Brothers in Northbridge when we get back from our holidays, and stock up on spices, dried fruits & nuts, and dry goods for the pantry. Should be a fun visit!

Hi JeremyUK, I love breads too and the thought of making sour dough bread is getting me excited. Love that bread! Conjures up memories of my trip to San Francisco years ago, and having seafood chowder in a sour dough bun....mmmm.
