Pumpkin Soup

We went to Myer two Saturday ago to get a blender as old blender we brought from the dot has failed us. Didn't know that now blender can cost as much as over $200. Those highly priced blenders have functions like soup, smoothie, shake blending mode, huh? I thought to make those, you just simply put the mixture in the blender and switch on the blades to spin. Seriously do you really need to pay that much to be an idiot? Well, we settled for one on sale which cost us $49.95.

Here is a recipe for a bowl of hearty warm pumpkin soup during winter. Enjoy!

For 2-4 serves

Ingredient:
  • 400 grams diced pumpkin (butter nuts will be sweeter)
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 2 cloves crushed garlic
  • 4 cups stocks
  • 1 tbsp oil
Preparation:

Heat up a pot on medium heat, fry the onion and garlic with oil till fragrant. Add the diced pumpkin and toss till the pumpkin is coated with the onions. Next, add stock and turn the flame to high. Let the soup comes to boil and then turn the heat low to simmer the pumpkin with a lid on the pot. Turn off the heat when pumpkin is soft. Let the soup cool slightly before blending it in a blender. Once blended to a smooth consistency, return the mixer over low heat and add salt to taste.

If you like creamy soup, replace half cup of stock with milk.
