Buying pumpkins for soup: tips & tricks
Pumpkin becomes plentiful – and inexpensive – in the cooler months, with the season kicking off around April. When choosing your pumpkins for these soups, here are some tips to keep in mind.
For whole pumpkins, they should be unblemished, heavy for their size, and still have some stem attached. If buying cut pumpkin to make these soup recipes, check the pieces are brightly coloured, and free of soft spots or decolouration. Also, pieces should be moist but not wet.
When it comes to storing, whole pumpkins will keep in a well-ventilated place, away from heat and sunlight, for up to 2 months. Once cut, remove the seeds, cover with plastic wrap, and store in the fridge for up to one week.
Safety tip: blending soup
If using a jug blender or food processor to blend your pumpkin soup, stand it for 10 minutes to cool slightly before blending. The heat build-up may cause the lid to blow off.
