- Put the contents of the pan in the food processor.
- Add some of the cooked kabocha squash too and process to a paste.
- Return the contents of the food processor to the pan.
- Add the remaining kabocha squash, and add the milk a little at a time, stirring constantly and heating.
- When the soup has reached the consistency you like, season with salt and pepper.
- Chill well in the refrigerator.
- Serve topped with cream or parsley.
- Addition: Some kabocha squash may be a bit dry.
- If the kabocha squash doesn't blend well with the milk, pass it through a fine meshed sieve first.
- Return the kabocha squash stuck on the sieve to the pan, and simmer while adding some cream to make it smooth.
- Then add the rest of the sieved squash and mix well.
