Instructions

Step 1 – Chop the vegetables

Start by finely chopping the onion. Then cut the pumpkin into small cubes and the tomato into pieces.Using a Hokkaido pumpkin? Lucky you—you don’t even need to peel it! One less thing to do. 😉

Step 2 – Sauté the onion

Heat a little butter or oil in a soup pot. Add the chopped onion and sauté over medium heat until it turns translucent.

Step 3 – Add the pumpkin and tomato

Add the pumpkin cubes and tomato to the pot. Fry everything together for a couple of minutes to bring out the flavors.

Step 4 – Let the soup simmer

Add the water and half a stock cube. Stir everything together and bring the soup to a boil. Let it simmer gently for about 20 to 25 minutes, until the pumpkin is completely soft. You can check by piercing a piece of pumpkin with a fork.

Step 5 – Time to blend!

Once the pumpkin is soft, use a hand blender to blend everything into a smooth, creamy soup.Then add the cream and stir well. Taste the soup and see if it needs any extra seasoning or pepper.
