Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 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!

    Delicious soup.  LOVED that the chicken wasn't blitzed.

    A delicious soup. I only used one garlic clove as I like the garlic just to be a subtle undertone.

    It was good and filling, just what we needed for a winters day. Made a lovely amount. Soup you can put away for another day is so good.

    I had a large half cauli, so I think it needed a bit more cooking and whizzing. I could not fit it all in the varoma, so had to put the potatoes in the bottom.

    I had some chicken connsume that needed using so I used that instead of the water and even added up to a litre and the soup was still thick.

    I had no crame frache and so served it as it was and it was superb. Thank you thermial for sharing.

    Great recipe makes a very hearty soup. I also blitzed the chicken through the soup. Great for a winter meal, will definitely make agai.

    Love this recipe!! I substituted the butter with Nuttelex and left out the creme frache to make it dairy free and it was delicious! So creamy & so much flavor!

    Great recipe, I blitzed the chicken into the soup but added a little too much pepper so there was a fair amount of heat in the finished product!!
