How to make homemade pumpkin puree?
Pumpkin puree is the main theme of making curry pumpkin soup. To make this, you need only two ingredients: salt and pumpkin. Salt is technically optional, so you can skip it if you want. Making pumpkin puree will take 45 to 60 minutes of roasting time, but it’s not really bad as it makes your home smell amazing.
You can make this recipe in advance if you want. It will stay fresh in the refrigerator for one week and months in the freezer. To make pumpkin puree,
- Heat the oven to 400℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Take two smallish pumpkins, clean them properly and cut the pumpkin in half. Use a scoop or spoon to scrape out the pulp and seeds from the center. Repeat until you get all the seeds and pulp out.
- Place the pumpkin pieces on the prepared baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 45 to 60 minutes or until they are fork-tender. They will have a nice golden brown texture when they are done.
- Let the pumpkin cool until you can safely handle them, scoop out the soft flesh in the food processor, and process until smooth, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- If the pumpkin looks dry, then add some water and blend them. If the puree looks watery, strain them on a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to discard the liquid.
How to store pumpkin puree?
To store the puree in the freezer:
- Place one spoon of puree into each plastic storage bag.
- Start to seal the bag, but leave a small bit of opening.
- Use your hand to flatten the pumpkin inside and push out the air.
- Store the puree in the freezer until you need it for cooking.
How to make vegetable broth?
The special ingredient to enhance the flavors of curry pumpkin soup is Vegetable Broth. You can prepare it in advance to make this soup, or you can use store-bought broth, or bouillon cubes and water. If you make your broth a home, it will stay fresh for five days in the refrigerator. In the freezer, you can keep the broth fresh for up to 3 months.
