On Sunday I went to the Good Guys and bought myself a Sunbeam Stick Master. I've wanted to get one for yonks now because I've seen firsthand how it's so simple to use and less time consuming to clean than a blender.Tonight after work, I decided to use the rest of the butternut pumpkin I had in the fridge to make some pumpkin soup - and, I would puree it with my Stick Master!
- Add some olive oil to a pot and sautee some chopped garlic and onion.
- Once garlic and onion are softened, add some chopped leek and fry for a few minutes but do not brown.
- Add some ground cumin, ground coriander and ground nutmeg and cook for a few minutes.
- Pour in some stock (vegetable or chicken) and add chopped pumpkin and potato.
- Simmer until pumpkin and potato have cooked and then puree mixture.
- Serve.
The aromas that are released when you add the spices are just devine! I used roughly the same proportion of pumpkin to potato. You can also add some cream to thicken up the soup when you puree it, but I didn't.
Verdict: The Stick Master is a worthy investment.
For dinner, I made a big bowl of noodle soup.
