Notes
- Which type of pumpkin is best for soup?
- Butternut Pumpkins, Kent Pumpkins and Queensland Blue Pumpkins are generally the preferred pumpkins for soup here in Australia. This is because they are dense and sweet – resulting in a richer soup.
- TIPS
- Make sure the veges are soft and tender before you attempt to blend them to get the creamiest soup possible
- Allow the veges to cool for at least half an hour before blending, otherwise you risk a pumpkin soup explosion or burn.
