The simplest creamy pumpkin soup is a classic version that has everything it needs and nothing too much! Now quickly get the ingredients and get to work.
Ingridients
- 1/2 kg pumpkin (any type)
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 750 ml soup base (vegetable or chicken)
- 250 ml of water
- salt and pepper
- 125 to 185 ml cooking cream, you can also use milk
Preparation
Cut the pumpkin into 3 cm thick slices. Peel or remove the skin and remove the seeds. Cut into 4 cm pieces. Combine the pumpkin, onion, garlic, soup stock and water in a pot and bring to a boil (uncovered). Then reduce the heat and simmer until the squash is tender (test with a knife), about 10 minutes. Remove from the stove and use a stick blender to blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper, stir in the cream. Ladle the soup into bowls or onto plates, drizzle with a little cream, pepper and parsley if desired. Serve with crusty pieces of bread. Have a good run!
You can add to the soup for more flavor:
- curry (added at the last stage, with spices and cream)
- ginger (fry 1/2 spoonful of finely grated ginger in combination with 1/2 spoonful of oil or butter first, then continue with the recipe)
- spice mix 1 (1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp coriander and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika)
- spice mix 2 (1 and 1/2 tsp ground turmeric, coriander and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper)
