Creamy Pumpkin Soup Recipe

I couldn't recalled when, but there was once I had a real good Creamy Pumpkin Soup somewhere, after which I couldn't find it anymore. Instead of searching high and low, I tried creating it my way. Perhaps this is not the most authentic Pumpkin Soup recipe but who cares so long as it taste great. Every mouthful is absolutely delicious to me, but hubby just find it so-so. Now it's time to let my 3 little food taster to be the judge.

Macaroni in Pumpkin Chicken Soup for my 2y7m princess, 1yo and 4yo.

Their 1st attempt to try this soup dish.

Macaroni in Pumpkin Chicken Soup for me and my mummy friend.

Ingredients:

• Chicken Bones (*optional, even if you omit, the soup will still taste nice)
• 2 Slices Pumpkin
• 1 Yellow Onion
• 2 Garlic Cloves
• 1 slice of Butter, 1cm thick
• Fresh Milk/ Cream
• A pinch of Homemade Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp of Homemade Chicken Powder
• 2 - 3 tbsp of Grated Cheese
• A pinch of Sea Salt (*Optional)
• A pinch of Black Pepper

Heat pot, melt butter.

Place blanched chicken bones with skin facing down. Add Onion and Garlic, sauté until fragrant.

Flip the chicken bones only when it has turned brown. 

Tips: Early attempt to flip chicken bones will result in sticking to stainless steel pot.

Add pumpkin and continue to sauté until fragrant.

Almost ready!

Tips: Do not over brown the ingredients, slightly fragrant will do.

Add 0.8L to 1L of water to Pressure Cooker.

Tips: If you are using a normal soup pot, please simmer for at least an hour. You will need to add about 1.5L of water instead.

I'm using Buffalo Wonder Chef 3L Pressure Cooker. After locking the lid, always start with high heat. After a few minutes, the red indicating safety valves would lift, there's when the pressure cooker begin to whistle. Turn to low heat and let it whistle for 20 minutes. Initial cooking time depends on the fire strength of your stove. Start to time only when your pressure cooker starts to whistle.

Tips: If you have omit adding Chicken Bones, then let Pressure Cooker whistle for only 5 minutes.

Here is the soup after 20 minutes of whistling, approximately with 15 minutes of resting time.

For safety reason, use a sieve to filter the soup and remove all chicken bones.

Scoop the tender Onion, Garlic and Pumpkin into a glass blender, together with a little soup. Blend until smooth.

Pour the blended soup over the sieve before returning to pressure cooker/ soup pot. Discard the residue.

Using small heat, simmer soup for another 5 minutes. Add Fresh Milk, Homemade Chicken Powder, Homemade Garlic Powder, Grated Cheese and a pinch of Black Pepper. Stir until dissolve. Salt is optional, I added a pinch of Sea Salt. Depending on preference, taste soup and adjust accordingly. 

Tips: If soup is dilute, you may add Cream instead of Fresh Milk.

Creamy Pumpkin Soup.

A versatile recipe, something for everyone...

I boiled and added Macaroni Pasta and Homemade Meat Ball to the Creamy Pumpkin Soup. This combination turned out very well. Both kids and mummies love it very much!

Depending on your recipe, this Creamy Pumpkin Soup can also be thicken to be use as a sauce. No matter how I mix and match, it just turned out well always. Love!!!
