Our Thermomix Pumpkin Soup is a nourishing combination of roasted pumpkin, onion, garlic, and chicken stock. Roasting pumpkin in the oven improves its flavour by caramelising its natural sugars, which results in a deeper, sweeter taste.
FEATURED REVIEW
Yum, yum, and yum! Thanks Vicki.
I was a bit worried due to lack of cream/milk but I think it's the most delicious pumpkin soup I've eaten!
KERRY
This recipe is ideal for cosy days indoors when the weather is too cold and rainy to venture outside. Serve the Pumpkin Soup on its own in a big mug or with a cheese toastie for a larger meal.
There are quicker Thermomix recipes for Pumpkin Soup that don't require roasting the pumpkin first; this version, however, tastes way better.
The supermarket often has pre-cut pumpkins to make life easier, but it's more expensive. The bonus of buying a whole pumpkin is the seeds can be roasted in the oven for a healthy snack. They take just ten minutes to roast and can be spiced with seasonings.

📖 Recipe
Thermomix Roast Pumpkin Soup
A warm and cosy Roast Pumpkin Soup which is perfect for chilly days.
Ingredients
- 750g pumpkin, cut into 3-4cm pieces
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- 1 onion, peeled and cut into quarters
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 500 mls low sodium chicken stock (or vegetable stock), note 1
- 100 mls cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C fan forced / 200°C and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Place the chopped pumpkin, onion, and garlic onto the baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, and roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes until soft.
- Transfer the cooked pumpkin, onion and garlic to the Thermomix bowl. Add the chicken stock and blend for 1 min/speed 8, slowly increasing the speed.
- Check seasoning and consistency. If it is too thick, add a little more stock or water and blend again for 30 sec/speed 8 until the desired consistency is reached.
- Heat the soup for 3 mins/90°C/speed 3. Stir in the cream if using.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with some freshly baked bread rolls.
Notes
- Stock: I love using Massel stock cubes, but if you want to use the Thermomix Stock Concentrate, 1 tablespoon equals 500 mls water.
Storage
Store the soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
