FAQ
All your Thermomix Sweet Potato & Pumpkin Soup questions answered!
Absolutely! Just ensure that the total weight of the vegetables used is equal to that in the recipe below.
Yes you can. Simply cook in a pot on the stovetop instead.
Yes! You can make this soup in a TM31, TM5 or TM6.
A splatter guard is an extra lid that fits over the Thermomix lid (when the MC is removed). It prevents splatters when soup is cooking or blending. If you have an older model Thermomix, you can place the simmering basket (rice basket) over the top of the MC hole instead.
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 chicken stock, you can use 2 tablespoons mixed with 500g water in place of the chicken stock liquid.
- 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.
- 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.
