Whether it’s melting cheese for nachos, heating the oil for crispy chicken wings, or simmering a big pot of chili, the precise control and quick response of a natural gas cooktop can get the food to the table fast and piping hot. That’s why most professional chefs choose natural gas. When it comes to baking, natural gas is also the best choice because it preheats fast and produces a moist heat that helps baked goods come out perfect.

Instructions

35 minutes until vegetables are tender. - Blend soup in the pot with an immersion blender or carefully blend in a high-speed blender. If using a blender you will need to do in multiple batches, use a bowl to hold blended soup before returning to the pot.

- Divide soup into 4 bowls, top with pepitas/pumpkin seeds.
Additional Notes
