Pumpkin Soup
I love the cheerful color of pumpkin and its taste, be it savory or sweet. My favorite pumpkin is the 'hokkaido' which you can eat with the peal/skin. In pumpkin soup, I am looking for a smooth, silky, but not watery result enhanced with enriching flavors of spring onions, fresh ginger root and a slight hint of (cappuccino-froth) light cream

Please don't hesitate to try making this amazing soup despite not having a kitchen machine or the one I mention a lot in my recipes (called thermomix, short tmx)! I will give you other options of how you can easily prepare all fresh ingredients with all the chopping and pre-steaming.

Add ginger to powerful blender, e.g. a Thermomix® at speed 10 for 2 sec until paste-like consistency

Add peeled garlic cloves ca. 10g and process speed 7 for 1sec

Add chopped spring onion or if not available any other mild onion (shallots are nice, too) into TMX

Speed 5 for 5sec until it looks rather shredded. Possible with a good cutting technique and a very good knife.

Pour oil through opening in lid of tmx. Unless you have prepared everything manually or don't have a tmx, now is the time to add your onion-garlic-ginger mix to a pot, large enough to fit at least three liters of liquid with a good amount of oil

100°C speed 2 for 3min or if preparing in pot: let heat up and stir occasionally until onions are lucid
