Happy Cooking with LG SolarDom: Quick and easy Pumpkin potage (Pumpkin soup)

 As the weather is colder, having a bowl of soup is a good idea. But because of the coldness I don't want to move, haha, so I rather have something easy to make.
This soup is very easy (if you don't like anything easy please skip these you can be frustrated, hehe). With microwave and blender you will get warm and delicious soup. I use my LG SolarDom again, I love using the microwave, it's easy and quick. Like making this recipe, no need to boil or steam the pumpkin, just put all the ingredients in a bowl and heat in the microwave, I can read a book while the microwave does all the job ^^. After that put all the ingredients in the blender and it done!
I love the taste of cherry tomato, it's sweeter and has less seed, but you can use large one if you have it on hand, just remember to remove the seeds before put it in a bowl.
I don't use any stock for this soup, to let the taste of the pumpkin, onion and tomato shine, but if you want some meaty taste 1/2-1 chicken bouillon cube will do the job, crumb it before putting in the bowl with pumpkin.
With this recipe you will get delicious and warm soup within 20 minutes, ^^. 

*I think about writing the recipe in Japanese a long time ago, this time I try again, hehe, well I'm still not good at Japanese (I learn by myself) if there are anything wrong please forgive me ^^, I will try harder next time.
今回は日本レシピを書きました。日本語がまあまあです（自分で勉強し）でも私頑張ります。私の書きたレシピ、間違った事があったら教えてください。
