Hi Stacey. I'm still working my way through your older videos. I take my frozen pumpkin pieces during the day and marinate them in a tablespoon of olive oil and crushed garlic and sprigs of rosemary. I cook them in the airfryer. They caramelize and are delish! ❤

Hi Stacey, am back watching your old vids, and thoroughly enjoying them❤ thank you, also loving the handy tips you give

Hi Stacey thanks for this , I love watching your cooking ideas ❤️

I use a small tomahawk axe to chop up my pumpkins for soup.Quick and easy.Don't have the arm strength now I'm in my 70s.Still tastes the same lol...❤

I pierce all over the pumpkin with a fork then microwave for 5 mins or so to soften it up for cutting or peeling. My favorite vegetable!

Throw some butter and garlic in.... beautiful We use that as a base for pumpkin soup. When you cut the top. Make it round and smaller and should come off in one piece. Put butter/garlic Iin and pop lid back on. Bake for a good few hrs. Yum

Hi Stacey. I’m Kath from Australia. I have just found your channel, loving it. I have just watched your pumpkin and chicken Lasagna, it looked amazing. My husband loves pumpkin but I never knew you could freeze it so some of it got wasted.

Pumpkin soup is a family favourite. Also whole pumpkin (remove seeds) roasted and slathered with softened butter mixed with fresh crushed garlic, pepper & salt inside. If you carefully cut a circle in the top it's easy to remove seeds. That pumpkin circle becomes the lid for roasting/steaming. Oven to table roasting dish means no extra dishes 🤣 enjoy. And, ALWAYS keep yourself SAFE. You have been doing those who enjoy watching your channel a huge service & I for one have been extremely motivated again. So much so that for family Easter lunch I'd made beef stroganoff. What a flop!! 😱 it used to be a standard for me. Meat was like chipboard. Fortunately I had your chicken schnitzel & 2 roasted chicken meats in the freezer, thawed by lunchtime. Picked out chipboard steak. Chicken stroganoff, lunch a was hit 🥳 Keep your wonderful channel going, please.

I would love to learn how to make pumpkin butter and apple butter and or anything that you spread on toast.

One of my favourite soups , I use cream for serving but if I have none I have used Philly cheese instead , also if I have accidentally put in too much stock in the soup , I added some older bread or rolls .

Another Kiwi watching this 6 months later, now NZ Autumn. Last year pumpkins were a horrendous price due to a cyclone. Currently they are about $4:50 each for a large one. We also have them from our garden. This podcast giving me lots of ideas for preservation. Love pumpkin soup.

Looks good soup.

You r a beautiful lady with so much knowledge, thank you for all your amazing videos.

love the soup and the workout prepping the pumpkin

That looks so delicious, roll on winter.

I like my pumpkin soup thick and then add the cream to personal bowls as some don’t like cream in their soup

I find that if you cut the pumpkin in half, the seeds can be scooped out quite easily, for which I use a soup spoon. Because of the rounded end, it doesn’t dig in. Then each half can be cut up as required. For soup, I roast the pumpkin first which concentrates and sweetens it, before adding to the soup pot with onions, garlic, and sometimes carrot for added sweetness and depth of flavour. Spices added can be Indian inspired, or I can add coconut milk, lemongrass, fish sauce, and kaffir lime leaves for a Thai inspired soup. All delicious variations. Sometimes I even roast the garlic with the pumpkin as well for subtle difference in flavour.

Hi Stacey, to cut up a big pumpkin I always used to take them outside and drop them on the concrete path to break them into manageable pieces. Nowadays I don’t usually get large pumpkins as I’m now on my own so usually just buy the smaller buttercup pumpkins. The knife I find the best to use is a much shorter one than the big vegetable knife that you used, and it also has a curved blade which really helps. I love watching you cook. You have such a natural, common sense and very creative way of making beautiful food. Linda

Oh wow! That soup looks divine!

Hi Stacey omg I just made your pumpkin soup with homemade chicken stock. It is divine! My elderly neighbour gave me a large jar of poached plums, so I returned her jar filled with pumpkin soup. Win-win! I’m also so grateful that you showed us how to cut a pumpkin up. Your way was so much easier. You are awesome 🤩

Excellent food

Delicious

For purée I just cut in half, remove the seeds and put in oven and bake. Once baked I just scoop out the flesh and purée

If you can't afford a vacuum sealer, put stuff in ziplock style bag, and use the water trick. Fill kitchen sink about 3/4 full of water. Put bag, open, into the sink, open side up of course so you don't lose your stuff, and make sure that water is up to the bottom of the ziplock. The water pressure is SUPPOSED to push the air out of the bag. Seal it up and yes, wipe off the bags.

Very tasty 😋

Exelente receta 😋😋😋😋

Gracias por las recetas.😋

Just cut pumpkin in half and cook skin side up, then you can scoop seeds out before cooking if you want.

Good

Me encantan todas las recetas qué preparas.

Me encanto

Ricas recetas Gracias 😋

If you’re partially cooking pumpkin to freeze for later use and don’t need to keep the seeds for planting, poke a few holes in the stalk end with a sharp knife, pop in the microwave stalk end up, add a little water in the well at the stalk end if you can. The steam helps to soften that area. Microwave on high for a few minutes, depends on the size of pumpkin. But just enough to soften it up so you can cut out the top section around the stalk. (Remove the pumpkin together with the glass plate as there can be hotspots). Scoop out seeds and fibrous stuff around seeds. You can cut up and freeze the flesh at this stage. Or, if you want purée or soup, add a little water in the pumpkin and microwave till you can scoop out the flesh with a spoon. The added water creates some steam and helps cook to a better consistency.

Do you think that I could pressure can the pumpkin soup before the blending stage? And then blend it in the pot when it’s opened? Or is it still too dense?

Hi there. I stumbled across your $50 challenge and am now watching more of your videos. I have a question. How do you keep your chicken stock powder and garlic powder from going hard?

Qué delicia

My mom made a pumpkin pie with the stuff already in the pumpkin puree, ONCE. Yuck. It was the only time that a pie molded before we finished eating it. Never again. Mom still used the name brand, BUT only the pure puree. Say that 5 times fast lol.

I take it you guys do not make Halloween Pumpkins. That looks really hard for you and we've done math since childhood so it's easy for us
