Cream of pumpkin soup
This is a basic, but creamy and satisfying soup that showcases the smoothness and delicate taste of pumpkin. I recommend using a squash of the Hokkaido or butternut type, as traditional pumpkin may taste a bit bland for this recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 kg pumpkin (Hokkaido, butternut), chopped in cubes
- 40g margarine
- 12g flour
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 360 mL soy milk
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Melt the margarine in a pot over medium heat.
- Add the pumpkin cubes, and fry them for a few minutes, stirring regularly.
- Add the flour and coat the pumpin cubes nicely.
- Add nutmeg, black pepper, salt, water, reduce heat, and keep boiling until pumpkin is done.
- Add soy milk, and turn off heat.
- Blend everything with an immersion blender, and adjust seasoning to taste.
