Ingredients
- 2 kg / 2.4 lb pumpkin (any type) OR butternut squash, unpeeled weight
- 1 onion, sliced (white, brown, yellow)
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled whole
- 3 cups (720 ml) vegetable or chicken broth/stock, low sodium
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 – 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk
Instructions
- Slice the pumpkin into pieces about 3cm / 2.25″ thick. Remove the peel and scoop out the seeds. Cut the flesh into chunks approximately 4cm / 1.5″ in size.
- Combine the pumpkin chunks, sliced onion, whole garlic cloves, broth, and water in a pot. The liquid will not fully submerge the pumpkin. Heat until boiling without a lid, then lower the heat and let it simmer rapidly until the pumpkin becomes soft enough to pierce with a butter knife—this will take around 10 minutes.
- Take the pot off the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix in the milk, ensuring that you do not boil the soup after adding it to prevent curdling.
- Serve the soup by ladling it into bowls, drizzle a little milk on top, and sprinkle with pepper and parsley if desired. Enjoy with some crusty bread on the side!
