Pumpkin soup is a classic comfort food, perfect for chilly evenings or a cozy meal at home.
Over the years, I’ve experimented with countless pumpkin soup recipes, trying to find “something maybe better” but and I can confidently say that Mum’s is our absolute favorite.
What’s even better is that I’ve got two versions to share with you today: one made with a Thermomix and the other using conventional methods, which is how I used to prepare it.
Thermomix Pumpkin Soup
We are total lovers of Pumpkin Soup, but it has to be the "traditional" pumpkin soup! My Mum always made an amazing one, so I converted it to Thermomix for everyone to enjoy.
