Which type of pumpkin is best for soup?

Butternut Pumpkins, Kent Pumpkins and Queensland Blue Pumpkins are generally the preferred pumpkins for soup here in Australia. This is because they are dense and sweet – resulting in a richer soup.

Tips:

Make sure the veges are soft and tender before you attempt to blend them to get the creamiest soup possible
Allow the veges to cool for at least half an hour before blending, otherwise you risk a pumpkin soup explosion or burn.
