Ever grown a few pumpkins but don’t have a lot of time to prepare them?………
Or maybe you just don’t have a lot of time to cook a healthy filling meal. Well this is the easiest recipe ever………….
………….This not only works for pumpkins but also for Butter nuts and most other winter squashes. So you have a pumpkin and 20 minutes to spare well here’s the easiest pumpkin soup recipe ever.
Ingredients
- 1 Pumpkin (peeled and diced)
- 1 Onion (peeled and finely chopped)
- 2 Potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 Chilli (chopped)
- 1 Carrot (peeled and chopped)
- 1 Stick of celery (chopped)
Now for The Easiest Pumpkin soup Ever
All you have to do is chop all the ingredients and add them to a large pan of boiling water. You can add more chilli if desired but taste first.
Whilst the soup is boiling, place the pumpkin seeds on an oven tray and roast in the oven until brown and crispy.
After all the ingredients are soft to the touch just blitz with a hand blender and serve with a swirl of cream or yogurt and a few roasted pumpkin seeds.
Enjoy …………… See I told you the easiest pumpkin soup recipe ever.
Having made this a few times I have experimented with the recipe slightly, and I find adding 2 cloves of garlic and about a quarter of an inch of fresh ginger really makes this a warming winter soup. What do you think? have you an easier recipe ? (I doubt it). Or have you added anything else and changed the taste at all ?
We make an even easier version… We cut the butternut in half, (you could do this with any type of pumpkin) and cut out the seedy bit and put in garlic cloves… a lot….. Put on a baking tray into a medium oven and bake until really soft…
Take out of the oven and let cool a bit. The skin is easy to remove.. it peels off and then put the garlic and the cooked pumpkin into a pot with some chicken stock and use your bamix to puree it.. Then reheat and add some sour cream or yoghurt and some green herbs on top…
No chopping of the pumpkin involved…

I like the idea of the toasted pumpkin seeds btw… will do that in future too
They are so nice and it’s better than wasting them.
