4 Ingredient Pumpkin Soup

Hi again, Amanda from ‘Simple home cook’ here. Today I am sharing one of my weeknight ‘go to ‘ recipes. 

I have been eating this since I was a kid and now own kids ask for it all the time. It only uses only a few ingredients, tastes amazing and is healthy too. What more could you want out of a recipe!

I used to make this recipe by adding milk at the end but I have done away with the milk as it just isn’t necessary. I have included in the recipe as optional for those who feel like they might want to add it.

When taking photos for this recipe I made a double batch so I could freeze half for another night. The perfect recipe in my opinion.

Enjoy,

Amanda (Simple home cook)

  • 4kg Jap or Kent pumpkin, peeled and chopped into large chunks

4 Ingredient Pumpkin Soup Recipe

  1. In a large saucepan over high heat, add the pumpkin and chicken stock. Bring to the boil then reduce to medium heat.
  1. In a large microwave safe bowl, add onion and bacon. Cover and microwave on high for 2 mins. Stir, then microwave for a further 2 mins.

    Made this tonight and topped the spaghetti squash with steamed broccoli, sliced cherry tomatoes, and green onions before pouring on the sauce. So delish!!!

    “Looks yummy!
    You list garlic in the ingredients list, but I don’t see where you add it to the recipe. I would guess that you add it to the partially sautéed onions?
    Thanks!”

    this looks so delicious! My husband hates eggs, so I never make Frittata’s which is a shame. Have you tried freezing this or something similar. I’m thinking for my breakfast or lunch, I could make ahead. Let me know, much appreciated!
