Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

This was delicious!
We grew a bumper crop of pumpkins in the veggie patch this year, so I can see this as a weekly meal for a while.
I used 2 tablespoon veggie stock in 1 litre water.
Thank you!
Very disappointed. I will not be using this recipe again. What a waste of ingredients. I followed the recipe to an absolute Tee. And the finished product was a big sticky mashed mess.
Add 2 tsp veg stock in 1 litre.
Yum quick easy
was a winner for the kids
To save time didn't pre cook pumpkin and still worked out perfectly!
This was nice,everyone enjoyed it. Also i didn't put in the spinach leaves
