    Thermomix Mango Cheesecake

    January 31, 2018

    A serve of a creamy cheesecake made with mango on a plate, with the remaining cheesecake in the background.

    Our Thermomix Mango Cheesecake is the perfect no bake dessert!

    Thermomix Mango Cheesecake

    Over the summer months we go through a crazy amount of mangoes in our house as the kids (and my husband and I!) just can't get enough of them! Although it's tempting to just eat them all, sometimes we end up with a few too many, which gives me the perfect excuse to turn them into this easy peasy Thermomix Mango Cheesecake.

    Thermomix Mango Cheesecake recipe

    This is a deliciously soft cheesecake but is packed full of mango flavour.  I like to decorate it with just a sprinkle of lightly toasted coconut on top, however you can also add some toasted macadamias or simply leave it plain if you prefer.

    As this is a soft cheesecake, you do need to give it at least eight hours (preferably overnight) to ensure it's completely set, but I promise you that waiting to eat this cheesecake is the hardest part of the entire recipe!

    Can I use fresh strawberries instead?

    It's important to use frozen strawberries so that your cocktail is blended to a slushy-like frozen texture.

    Can I substitute the strawberries?

    Frozen raspberries or mango slices work as a great substitution to the strawberries.

    The ingredients for weet-bix slice.

    To make this classic slice, you will need:

    • Weet-Bix - if you have a box of Weet-Bix in the cupboard, you're ready to make this slice! It's also the perfect way for using up all of the crumbs at the bottom of the box
    • Butter - choose salted or unsalted butter

    • Desiccated Coconut - fine dry coconut

    Expert Tips

    • It's completely fine for there to be a little melted butter remaining on top of the slice when it comes out of the oven. It will disappear very quickly.
    • When you are making this recipe, it's important to make sure you allow the slice to cool completely before adding the icing, otherwise it will be impossible to spread.
    • Place the slice into the fridge or freezer to hurry up the cooling process before adding the icing.
    • Store in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
    • This slice can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

    Recipe Hints and Tips

    It is important to use butter which has been softened. If the butter is too firm, it will take longer to combine with the caster sugar.

    This dough can be made up to two days in advance and stored in the fridge until required.

    In the lead up to Christmas you will find packs of Christmas M&M's at your local supermarket. Alternatively, you can pick out the red and green M&M's from a regular pack.

    Gently push the M&M's down into the dough, this will slightly flatten the biscuits.

    To store, place in an airtight container for up to one week. In warmer climates the biscuits may begin to soften after 3 -4 days.

    Both the uncooked dough and baked biscuits can be frozen for up to two months.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you freeze Christmas Biscuits?

    You sure can! This Thermomix Christmas Biscuit recipe can be frozen for up to two months.

    What colour are Christmas M&M's?

    Christmas M&M's are a festive red and green. If you are unable to find packs of them, you can pick out the red and green M&M's from a regular packet of M&M's or also use Smarties.

    Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for the ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    Step 1 - Crush The Watermelon

    Place the chunks of watermelon into the Thermomix bowl.

    Mix until smooth and combined.

    Step 2 - Mix

    Add the vodka and lemon juice and mix to combine.

    Step 3 - Strain (optional step)

    You can pour the watermelon mixture straight into the serving glasses or you can strain it into a jug first (my preferred option).

    Step 4 - Serve

    Divide the watermelon liquid between the glasses (the more you add, the stronger your cocktails will be).

    Fill to the top with lemonade, garnish with fresh mint and serve immediately.

    Expert Tips

    • for a low calorie option, use sugar-free lemonade
    • fresh mint is optional (but recommended) as a garnish
    • if you prefer (I do!), strain the watermelon liquid through a sieve and into a jug before diving between the glasses. This removes the watermelon puree.
    • This recipe can be doubled as long as it doesn't exceed the MAX line in your Thermomix.
    • to make your cocktails stronger, add more of the watermelon liquid to the glasses and less lemonade. For weaker cocktails, add less watermelon liquid and more lemonade.

    FAQs

    Can I add ice to the Thermomix when mixing this cocktail?

    Absolutely! Add it with the watermelon and puree for longer. This will give you a slushy-like texture.

    Can I make this in a blender?

    Yes as long as it is a high powered blender with strong blades.

    How many cocktails does this recipe make?

    Two strong cocktails or four weaker cocktails.

    Recipe Hints and Tips

    I like to let my fruit soak for up to two weeks before making this recipe, however you can soak your fruit for 1 - 2 hours if time is short.

    I use a 2 litre non stick pudding tin to make this recipe, mine has a diameter of 13cm and it fits into the varoma basket comfortably.  

    Please check your pudding tin prior to starting this recipe to make sure it will fit in the varoma basket. A smaller tin down to 1.4 L will accomodate this recipe

    To make it easier to test the pudding as it cooks, I cover the top of the pudding tin with a piece of baking paper and then secure it with foil.  

    This Thermomix Christmas Pudding can be made well in advance, just store it in a cool dark place like the back of your pantry.

    Please be careful when removing the varoma basket from the top of your Thermomix or taking the lid of to check the pudding. Always make sure that you open the lid the opposite direction to where you are standing to allow the steam to escape.

    You can also freeze this Christmas Pudding.

    FAQ

    Why is my Christmas Pudding soggy?

    It is very important to ensure the pudding is well sealed, so that water cannot enter the pudding dish.

    Can you freeze Christmas Pudding?

    Yes, Christmas Pudding can be frozen for up to three months.

    Can you make Christmas Pudding in advance?

    Yes, make this Christmas Pudding up to two months before it is required and store in a cool, dar, place.

    Recipe Hints and Tips

    • It is important to cook the butter, cocoa and sugar mixture until the sugar begins to dissolve. If you can still see sugar granules in the mixture, extend the cooking time by a further 60 seconds.
    • We use a 20cm square baking dish to make these brownies, you can use different shaped pans however the depth of the brownies and the cooking time will differ.
    • These Brownies are freezer friendly.
    • Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place and consume within three days.
    • You can make these brownies a day in advance, however I think there is nothing better than enjoying these fresh, so where possible try and make them on the day you intend to eat them.  

    FAQ

    What is the difference between Kahlua and Baileys?

    Bailey and Kahlua are NOT the same thing. Kahlua is creamy with a coffee flavour and Baileys has a more cocoa flavour.

    Can you freeze brownies?

    Yes, you can freeze brownies for up to three months.

    Ingredients

    Please note you will find the full list of ingredients and cooking instructions in the recipe card below.

    • Butter - we use unsalted butter when making this recipe.
    • Sultanas

    Hints and Tips

    It is essential to use self-raising flour and NOT plain flour for this recipe as the scones will not rise if plain flour is used.

    These scones can be made larger or smaller than specified however the cooking time will vary.

    We like to enjoy these scones while they are still a little warm and smeared with a generous amount of butter, however you can also top them with your favourite jam (my boys like to eat them with Apricot Jam) and even a little fresh cream if you like. 

    Store cooked scones in an airtight container and enjoy within five days. These Sultana Scones can also be frozen for up to two months.

    FAQ

    How do you get fruit scones to rise and be fluffy?

    We recommend placing the scones close together on the baking tray (so that they are almost touching) to help them rise up instead of outwards. It is also important to not overwork the scone dough as this will give them a dense texture.

    Why do you brush scones before baking?

    Brushing scones with milk or cream before baking helps to give them a lovely golden crust.

    Can you freeze scones?

    Cooke scones can be placed into a freezer safe container and frozen for up to two months.

    What You Need

    Our Thermomix M&M, Oat & Peanut Butter Cookies are PACKED full of delicious add-ins!

    Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for the ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    The ingredients for peanut butter, oat and M&M cookies.
    • Butter - use salted or unsalted butter in this recipe
    • Sugars - we use a combination of caster sugar and brown sugar which gives the cookies the perfect balance of soft chewiness on the inside and crunchiness on the outside!
    • Peanut Butter - choose a smooth and creamy store-bought peanut butter for this recipe. As much as we love to make our own homemade peanut butter in the Thermomix, the creamy store-bought versions work better in this recipe.
    • Egg - 1 large egg, at room temperature
    • Vanilla Extract - or vanilla essence
    • Bi-Carbonate Soda - this is the rising agent in the cookies.
    • Plain Flour - also known as all purpose flour.
    • Oats - I recommend using quick oats as they hold together better than rolled oats.
    • M&Ms - for the ultimate chocolate crunch and a pop of colour!
    • Chocolate Chips - use milk, dark or white chocolate chips - the choice is yours!

    Expert Tips

    • Insert the Butterfly attachment for the first two steps. This allows you to cream the mixture into a light, fluffy and smooth mixture.
    • Ensure your butter is at room temperature before mixing - this will ensure that it creams perfectly.
    • Once you've added the add-ins, ensure you use the REVERSE function so that the M&Ms and chocolate chips remain whole.
    • Quick oats work better than rolled oats as they stay together better.
    • Do NOT overbake the cookies! We want them to be soft on the inside! They will still be soft on the top once they've finished baking.
    • Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
    • Alternatively, freeze the unbaked dough for up to 3 months, or the baked cookies for up to 1 month.

    FAQS

    What is the Butterfly attachment?

    The Butterfly attachment is a standard attachment that comes with the purchase of all Thermomix machines. It clicks into place on top of the blades and helps to cream/whip the mixture.

    Why do we need to use the REVERSE function?

    Once the chocolate chips and M&Ms have been added, it's important to use the REVERSE function, so that the blades stir rather than chop. This ensures that the M&Ms and chocolate chips stay whole.

    A slice of sticky date pudding on a white plate.Melted vanilla icecream is running down the sides.

    I grew up eating this pudding and this Thermomix version is based on the recipe my Nan used to make when we were kids.  While you can also make this Sticky Date Pudding in individual containers, I think there is something special about putting this pudding down in the centre of the table and letting everyone help themselves to a nice big piece!

    Why you will love this recipe

    • Simple Ingredients – You don’t need any hard to source ingredients for this recipe. and you will likely find everything you need to make it in your pantry and fridge.
    • Quick prep time - It takes no time at all to put this pudding together! I like to make the caramel sauce just after popping the pudding into the oven so that it has time to thicken.
    • Make ahead – The pudding can be made up to a day ahead of when needed, simply re-heat and add the caramel sauce just before serving.
    • Versatile - you can bake this pudding in individual serves.
    • Feeds a crowd – This recipe serves 8 people.

    Ingredients

    For a full list of ingredients and quantities, please view the recipe card below.

    • Water
    • Pitted Dates
    • Vanilla Extract – vanilla essence can also be used
    • Bicarbonate of Soda – also known as bicarb soda
    • Butter – I use unsalted butter for this recipe
    • Eggs - 70 gram eggs are used in this recipe.
    • Caster Sugar
    • Brown Sugar – I use regular brown sugar
    • Self-raising flour
    • Cinnamon

    To make the Caramel Sauce to top your pudding, you will need:

    • Brown Sugar – I use regular brown sugar

    Step 7. Pour the caramel sauce over the pudding just before serving.

    Expert Tips

    • When making the pudding, either dark or regular brown sugar can be used.
    • A 22cm square baking dish was used to prepare this recipe, if using a smaller or larger baking dish, the cooking time will be different.
    • Thickened cream is required to make the caramel sauce, don’t use pouring or light cream.
    • I like to prepare the caramel sauce when the pudding goes into the oven. This allows the sauce time to thicken. Alternatively, you can make the sauce when there is approximately 15 minutes of cooking time remaining.
    • This Pudding is best served while it is still warm.
    • Top your Sticky Date Pudding with ice-cream, cream or custard.
    Are fresh or dried dates best for Sticky Date Pudding?

    You can use either pitted dates or medjool dates for this recipe.

    What does Sticky Date Pudding taste like?

    Sticky Date Pudding is a very sweet dessert. To reduce the sweetness, don't use all of the caramel sauce.

    Can you freeze Sticky Date Pudding?

    Yes, you can freeze Sticky Date Pudding. We do not recommend freezing the Caramel Sauce however as it does not defrost well. To freeze, place the plain pudding in a freezer safe container and store for up to two months.

    • Allow the dough to rise in a warm spot until doubled in size
    • Once the dough is in the baking tin, allow it to rise to the top of the tin

    • Sesame seeds are optional
    • Our bread is best served within 1-2 days of baking
    • Store at room temperature (in a bread bag or wrapped in a tea towel)
    • Freeze any leftover slices for up to 1 month

    FAQs

    Technically you 'can', however, Baker's flour will give you a much better loaf of bread.

    Bread improver is available in the flour section of the supermarket.

    How long will my bread last?

    Because our bread contains no additives or preservatives, it is best eaten within 1-2 days of baking. You can freeze any leftovers.

    Equipment

    • Thermomix
    • Oven

    Ingredients

    • 300 g water
    • 7 g dry yeast
    • 30 g raw sugar
    • 600 g bakers flour (or plain flour)
    • 2 ½ teaspoon salt
    • 2 teaspoon bread improver
    • 15 grams olive oil
    • sesame seeds to sprinkle

    Instructions

    • Place the water and yeast into the Thermomix bowl and heat for 2 minutes, 37 degrees, Speed 1.
    • Add the raw sugar, flour, salt, bread improver and olive oil and mix for 6 seconds, Speed 6.
    • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and knead for 7 minutes, Interval/Kneading function.
    • Place the dough into a greased ThermoServer (or a greased bowl with a tea towel on top). Allow to prove until doubled in size in a warm spot (this will take approximately 1 hour).
    • Knead the dough back down and place into a lightly greased loaf tin. Spread the dough out to the edges.
    • Brush the top of the dough with water and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
    • Allow the dough to rise to the top of the loaf tin.
    • Place the tin into a cold oven and turn onto 200 degrees celsius (fan-forced). Cook for 30 minutes or until crunchy on top (and it sounds hollow when tapped).
    • Leave in the tin to cool for a couple of minutes before turning onto a wire rack.

    Notes

    RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
    • For the best results, use Baker's flour instead of plain flour
    • Make sure your yeast is in date and active before using
    • Allow the dough to rise in a warm spot until doubled in size
    • Once the dough is in the baking tin, allow it to rise to the top of the tin
    • Brushing the top of the dough with water helps it to bake into a golden, crusty top
    • Sesame seeds are optional
    • Our bread is best served within 1-2 days of baking
    • Store at room temperature (in a bread bag or wrapped in a tea towel)
    • Freeze any leftover slices for up to 1 month

    Thermomix Chicken and Mushroom Risotto

    July 5, 2017

    A risotto with baby spinach and avocado.

    Our Thermomix Chicken & Mushroom Risotto with avocado, baby spinach and parmesan is the perfect family meal! Have dinner on the table in just 30 minutes.

    A close up of a bowl of risotto with chicken, mushrooms, spinach and avocado.

    It's no secret that the Thermomix makes the BEST risottos... and unlike stove-top risottos, there's no need to stand over the pot and serve. Just set and forget!

    Whether it's a delicious Seafood Marinara Risotto, a classic Pumpkin and Bacon Risotto or this Chicken & Mushroom Risotto, you can be guaranteed that a delicious family dinner will be ready to eat in no time!

    A bowl of risotto.

    Why You're Going To Love This Risotto

    • Quick & Easy - Have dinner on the table in just 30 minutes!
    • Midweek Dinner - The whole family will love this simple meal.
    • Versatile - Mix and match with the ingredients you already have on hand at home. Don't have chicken thighs? Use chicken breast! Don't like mushrooms? Leave them out!
    • Freezer-Friendly - Pop any leftovers in the freezer for a quick grab and reheat dinner on a busy night.

    What You Need

    Just a handful of basic ingredients are needed to make this Thermomix Chicken & Mushroom Risotto!

    Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    The ingredients for a chicken and mushroom risotto.
    • Parmesan Cheese - A risotto just wouldn't be a risotto without lots of parmesan cheese. I like to stir half of the grated parmesan through the risotto and sprinkle the rest of the top when serving. Add extra parmesan if you like!
    • Onion & Garlic - Choose a brown onion for this recipe. Use either pre-minced garlic or mince your own fresh cloves.
    • Butter & Olive Oil - For sauteing.
    • Arborio Rice - The classic variety of rice used in risotto.
    • White Wine - The wine cooks out when the risotto is cooking so it's perfectly fine for the whole family to eat. If you prefer, you can substitute the white wine with extra chicken stock liquid (however, I highly recommend using white wine for the best results).
    • Chicken Stock Liquid - Use 700g store-bought liquid chicken stock or make your own by adding 3 teaspoons of chicken stock powder to 700g water. Alternatively you can use your own homemade chicken stock paste mixed with 700g water.
    • Chicken - Use chicken thighs (or substitute with chicken breasts).
    • Mushrooms - Slice the mushrooms before adding to the Thermomix.
    • Avocado & Baby Spinach - Stir chunks of avocado and fresh baby spinach through the risotto while it's resting.

    Step By Step Instructions

    It takes just a few minutes to prepare this classic Thermomix Chicken & Mushroom Risotto!

    Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    Step 1 - Grate The Parmesan

    Expert Tips & FAQ

    Can I use chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs?

    Yes, absolutely! I prefer to use chicken thighs as they stay tender when cooked, but chicken breasts can be used instead.

    Can I omit the mushrooms?

    If you don't like mushrooms, there's no need to put them into the risotto. Simply omit them from the recipe.

    Resting The Risotto

    It's important to allow the risotto to rest for 10 minutes before serving. After cooking, the risotto will be quite liquidy. The risotto will thicken when resting.
    A ThermoServer is the perfect thing for resting your risotto and allowing it to thicken. You can use the Thermomix branded ThermoServer or any brand of insulated stainless steel container.

    Storing

    Store leftover risotto in the fridge for up to 1-2 days. Reheat throughly before consuming.

    Freezing

    Freeze any leftover risotto in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

    Step 1 - Cook The Chicken

    Cook the chopped chicken in the Thermomix with the vegetable stock and water.

    Ensure that the water is well below the MAX line (if not, use less water) as it will bubble and splatter while cooking.

    Expert Tips & FAQ

    Can I use other vegetables?

    In this version I've used corn, celery, onion and carrots for the vegetable content. However you can use any veggies you have in your fridge and freezer. Personally we love adding zucchini and sweet potato.  

    Ensure the liquid is well below the MAX line

    As the liquid will bubble and splatter when cooking, ensure it is always well below the MAX line. Use less water if need be.

    Stop splatters

    Place the rice basket over the MC hole or use a splatter cover if you have one. This will help to avoid mess when the soup is cooking and bubbling.

    Storing

    Store leftover Thermomix chicken noodle soup in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

    FAQS

    Do I have to use arborio rice for risotto?

    Yes! Arborio rice is a special variety of rice that cooks to a creamy, soft texture.

    Do I have to rinse arborio rice before using it?

    No, unlike other rice varieties, you DO NOT want to rinse arborio rice as the starch is what helps the risotto to become creamy.

    Can I double this recipe?

    No as it would exceed the MAX safety line in the Thermomix bowl.

    • chopped dates and pecans
    • strawberry and a sprinkle of coconut

    More Recipe Tips

    • The trick to getting your muffins perfectly soft and moist is to not over-mix them. Over-mixing will lead to dense muffins (and no-one wants that!!).
    • I like to sprinkle a little bit of raw sugar over my muffins just before baking as it gives them a delicious crunch when cooked.

    • Muffins are best consumed within 1-2 days of baking, however, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.

    Can I add different flavours to this muffin base?

    Yes! This is a basic muffin recipe base that you then add any of your favourite flavours/add ins to.

    Can I use this recipe in an older model of the Thermomix?

    Yes! Our Thermomix Basic Muffin Recipe is suitable for all models of the Thermomix.

    Expert Tips

    • When pureeing the soup, allow it to cool for a few minutes. Ensure the MC is removed and the splatter guard or rice basket is in place. Very slowly increase the speed. If the machine starts to shake, turn it down and increase the speed even more slowly.
    • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Tips for Making the BEST Thermomix Chocolate Brownies:

    • It’s important not to overcook this recipe, otherwise you won’t get a soft and fudgey brownie.
    • As tempting as it is, make sure you let the brownie cool completely in the baking tin before cutting, as this helps it to set.
    • If you don’t have any cocoa, you can also use cacao, this will give your brownies a richer flavour.
    • You can ice the brownies with a simple chocolate icing (recipe here) or leave plain.
    • These brownies are freezer friendly.

    How to Serve:

    Our Chocolate Brownies can be served on it's own, sprinkled with a little icing sugar, with cream and berries, a scoop of ice-cream... however you like! Oooh did I mention that a drizzle of homemade salted caramel sauce over the top is super yummy too!

    Thermomix Cinnamon Finger Buns

    June 7, 2017

    With just the right amount of fruit and spice, these Thermomix Cinnamon Finger Buns will become one of your favourite snacks!

    I've been making this Finger Bun recipe from Thermomumma for ages now and the boys just LOVE eating one of these fresh from the oven.  I've made a couple of modifications to the recipe (as I just can't resist doing!) to turn these into Cinnamon and Sultana Finger Buns which taste just like the store bought Hot Cross Buns.

    You will love:

    Quick preparation time - you will only need to spend 10 minutes working with the ingredients to make these finger buns.

    Budget friendly - save money by making these finger buns at home instead of buying from the bakery or supermarket.

    Freezer friendly - once baked, these finger buns can be frozen for up to three months when stored in a freezer safe bag or container.

    Ingredients

    Please note you will find a full list of ingredients plus the method in the recipe card below.

    • Water - you will need to use lukewarm water.
    • Yeast - we use instant dried yeast.
    • Bakers Flour - this can be substituted with plain flour if needed.
    • Cinnamon
    • Milk Powder
    • Bread Improver - you can omit this if you prefer.
    • Caster sugar
    • Butter
    • Sultanas - substitute with raisins or currants if you wish.

    How to Make Cinnamon Finger Buns in a Thermomix:

    Step 1. Place all of the ingredients, except for the sultanas, in your Thermomix bowl and mix to combine.

    Step 2. Knead the mixture.

    Step 3. Add the sultanas and knead again.

    Step 4. Rest the dough.

    Step 5. Divide the dough into 12 balls and place into mini loaf pan.

    Step 6. Rest the dough.

    Step 7. Bake until golden and cooked through.

    Recipe Hints and Tips

    To make life easier, I add the sultanas to the dough and knead them through for a couple of minutes, however if you prefer to have the sultanas kept whole (they do break up a little when kneading in the theme) then simply knead them through by hand before letting the dough rest.  

    These Thermomix Cinnamon Finger Buns are freezer friendly too and I just pop one frozen into our kids lunchbox and it's defrosted and ready to eat by morning tea time.  

    I also use two silicon mini loaf tins (purchased from Kmart) to make these Finger Buns in, however you can also cook these on a baking tray too.

    You can also glaze these Finger Buns while they are still warm. Combine 1 tablespoon of Apricot Jam with 2 tablespoons of water and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir with a fork to combine the ingredients and then use a pastry brush to apply the glaze to the finger buns.

    FAQ

    What is the best way to keep finger buns fresh?

    Store in an airtight container and consume within three days.H

    How do you store dry yeast?

    It is essential to store yeast in an airtight container. We recommend storing in the freezer and using as needed.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does adding water make soup less spicy?

    To reduce the spiciness of your soup, add water to dilute the flavour of your soup.

    Can you blend hot soup in a Thermomix?

    Hot soup can certainly be blended in a Thermomix, however you do need to ensure the speed is gently increased until the desired speed is achieved.

    Expert Tips

    • Do NOT exceed the MAX line - at no stage should you exceed the MAX line in the Thermomix machine. This is particularly important with the TM31 as the bowl is smaller than the TM5 and TM6. If you are close to the MAX line, use less chicken stock liquid.
    • If you have homemade vegetable stock, you can use 2 tablespoons mixed with 700g water in place of the vegetable stock liquid.
    • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
    • Reheat frozen soup in a pot on the stovetop or in the microwave.
    • Reheat defrosted soup in the microwave, on the stovetop or in the Thermomix.
    • Allow the soup to cool completely in the fridge and then freeze for up to 3 months.

    What You Need

    Our Thermomix Pumpkin Soup is made from just 5 ingredients (and you might already have them at home):

    Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the full detailed recipe.

    The ingredients for pumpkin soup.
    • pumpkin - you can use any type of pumpkin you like. Here in Australia, jap, butternut and kent and are great options. Butternut is my favourite as it has such a great flavour - but any variety is fine to use.
    • onion - choose a brown onion. Once roasted, it will become soft and full of flavour.
    • olive oil - for roasting the pumpkin and onion
    • vegetable stock - use your own homemade vegetable stock or store-bought. If using store-bought, I like to use the Vegeta brand.
    • cream - adding cream to your pumpkin soup will make it deliciously smooth and creamy. If you're looking for a dairy-free alternative, switch to coconut cream.

    Step By Step Instructions

    It couldn't be easier to make pumpkin soup using your Thermomix! Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the full detailed recipe.

    Roast The Vegetables

    Drizzle the pumpkin and onion with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and bake in the oven until soft.

    Puree

    Allow the pumpkin and onion to cool and then place into the Thermomix bowl. Puree the vegetables until smooth (puree for less time if you prefer a bit of chunkiness).

    Note: At this stage the mixture will be very thick.

    Add Stock

    Add half of the vegetable stock liquid to the Thermomix bowl and mix through. Repeat with the remaining liquid.

    Note: At no stage should you exceed the MAX line. Omit some of the vegetable stock liquid if you are at the line.

    Add Cream

    Add the cream and heat through.

    Expert Tips

    Do I really have to roast the pumpkin?

    Roasting the pumpkin is what makes this pumpkin soup taste a million times better than recipes that cook the soup in liquid stock. If you prefer not to roast the pumpkin, try this recipe instead (but we HIGHLY recommend that you do roast it!).

    What do I do if the liquid is going past the MAX line?

    It's very important to never exceed the MAX line for safety reasons. When you are adding the stock, make sure you do not exceed the line (it's fine to omit some of the liquid stock if necessary).

    What do you serve with pumpkin soup?

    There's so many great options! We recommend either a homemade sourdough loaf, white fluffy rolls, scrolls or naan bread.

    Storing & Freezing

    Store leftover pumpkin soup in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
