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.

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.
