A documented pumpkin soup recipe for Tefal Easy Soup
This example uses Tefal’s Easy Soup recipe booklet, printed pages 3 and 5. Its orange-and-butternut recipe expressly permits pumpkin instead. The UK Easy Soup model reference is BL841140; confirm that reference on your appliance.
Ingredients for the booklet’s four servings
- Pumpkin cubes: 700g
- Onion: 60g; cubed potato: 100g
- Orange juice: 150ml; water: 300ml
- Curry powder: one level teaspoon; sugar: one teaspoon; salt
- For serving: orange zest and cumin seeds
Method for this Easy Soup example
- Prepare vegetables in 1–2cm pieces. Thaw frozen ingredients beforehand.
- Load vegetables, then liquids and seasonings. Stir and keep the combined contents within the jug’s MIN/MAX markings.
- Fit the lid and start Creamed Soup, the booklet’s 23-minute programme.
- Serve when finished; add the reserved garnish.
Read the linked booklet alongside your appliance instructions before starting. This is a summary of that manufacturer’s example, including its permitted substitution. It is not a newly developed recipe, and we have not established how it performs in another soup maker.
Plan the batch before you cut the pumpkin
Set out a kitchen scale and measuring jug first. Work through the ingredient list and decide whether it suits the meal you want to serve. The orange juice and curry are part of this particular recipe: if you wanted a plain pumpkin soup, choose a documented plain version instead of quietly removing several ingredients and expecting the same result.
Use the stated batch as your starting point. If you only need lunch for one or two, first establish whether that quantity makes sense for your appliance. Our soup-maker capacity guide explains which markings and minimum-batch information to find. Decide this before buying a large pumpkin or planning several portions around one cycle.
Using a Morphy Richards, Ninja or another model?
Keep the ingredient idea separate from the operating method. Find your full model number, then look for its own manufacturer recipe book. A useful pumpkin recipe should identify the quantities, preparation, programme and any finishing step. If one of those is missing, resolve it before transferring the mixture into the jug.
For example, Morphy Richards’ pumpkin soup blog recipe does not identify a model in its method. We therefore have not assigned its quantities to a particular Morphy Richards jug or presented them as a universal alternative.
Our smooth-versus-chunky programme guide helps you compare the questions to ask about a cycle. Treat a matching button name as a prompt to check the instructions, rather than evidence that another model follows the same recipe.
Check the ingredients you actually have
Fresh cubes, frozen pieces, roasted leftovers and a tin of pumpkin purée are different starting points to investigate. Before substituting one, find a manufacturer method that specifies it. For the frozen option, our frozen-vegetable preparation guide gives you a useful checklist.
Keep the recipe page open while preparing the batch and tick off ingredients as you measure them. This simple record makes it easier to spot an omitted liquid or an accidental substitution before starting. If you plan to repeat the soup, save the original source and your model number together.
Finish the routine with cleanup
After serving, use the care instructions for your exact machine. Our soup-maker cleaning guide helps you identify the jug, blade and electrical-component instructions to check.
If you are shopping for a machine to make this sort of lunch regularly, start with the batch size you want and the recipes you would repeat. Our UK soup-maker buying guide compares the practical choices to investigate before ordering.
