👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 2
Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Add cubed pumpkin/squash and corn kernels to the pot. Stir to combine with onion and garlic.
- 4
Pour in vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.
- 5
Carefully transfer about half of the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender directly in the pot) and blend until smooth. Return the blended soup to the pot.
- 6
Stir in the milk and bring the soup back to a gentle simmer. Do not boil.

If using cheese, add the cubes and stir until they are slightly softened but not completely melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 8
Serve hot, garnished with extra corn or cheese if desired.
💡 专业技巧
- ✓For a thicker soup, use less broth or blend more of the solids.
- ✓If you don't have Paraguayan cheese, a mild white cheese like mozzarella or a mild cheddar can be substituted.
- ✓Ensure the pumpkin is cooked through before blending for a smoother consistency.
