brrrrrr it's winter and it's freezing here in Sydney! I LOVE making soups in the Thermomix as they are just so quick and easy. Soups freeze really well, so any leftovers I freeze in individual servings which are very handy to always have on hand.
I'm loving my Laksa Paste which I'm using now in all sorts of things to add a great flavour boost.

This was super easy and delicious! I cheated and used 2 TBS of store bought laksa paste but made my own coconut milk (thanks for the tip! Was super easy). I used half pumpkin and half sweet potato - didn’t even peel them. Had this delicious soup ready in 25 mins. Thanks.

Great to hear thank you Julie. :)
Alida says
What do you mean by "Make coconut milk"?
thermofun says
You can make your own coconut milk in the thermomix - on the page if you click the link "coconut milk" in the ingredients it will take you to the recipe.
thermofun says

Fiona says
Sorry but where are the lentils? Seem to only be in the name?
thermofun says
oops my apologies Fiona - I was in this recipe just the other day editing a typo and I must have accidentally done a little more editing than I was supposed to! It is now corrected!
Sandra Tomkins says
Hallo, Fancy giving this one a try, but have 2 questions: 1. In the laksa paste recipe "Fish Sauce" is called for, but the recipe says it is vegetarian, I am vegetarian, so, what do you suggest I use instead?
2. Details are not given for the preparation of the Butternut Squash, However, in the opening coments, it is suggested that we use the peal and seeds, so, do i just wash and cut up the squash as is?
Thanks for any advice, Sandy.
thermofun says
Sandy, I would suggest Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce in place of the fish sauce.
And yes just give the pumpkin a wash and a wipe with a damp cloth before cutting. Enjoy! :)
