When you say "Blend" do you mean put it in a blender and let it explode so that it burns you? 'Cause I followed your recipe exactly and now I have boiling pumpkin soup all over my kitchen bench and burns up my forearm and hand!

Hi B,

Sorry to hear about your kitchen mishap. Always be careful when working with hot foods and observe the manufacturer's instructions that come with your blender. Sometimes it helps to put a towel over the blender cover so that it won't leak, and never fill the blender more than half of its capacity.

You might also consider using a hand blender or food processor and allowing the hot food to cool until you feel confident of your ability to handle it safely.

Awesome recipe thanks, obviously some people are idiots and just cant be helped, if you must put in the recipe to be careful with hot fluids you may also have to put in to be careful with the knife when cutting etc.
