Easy Pumpkin Soup
The easiest and tastiest pumpkin soup ever.
Ingredients
- 1 lbs pumpkin 500 g
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 2 leeks
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 ⅔ cups water 400 ml
- 1 ⅓ cups heavy cream 320 ml
- salt
- ground black pepper
- nutmeg
Instructions
- Prepare the veggies. Chop the onion and garlic, cut the leeks into thin rounds. Peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds and cut into 1 inch cubes.
- Start sautéing the onion in a pot with the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and pumpkin cubes after 5 minutes and continue cooking without adding any liquids for 2-3 minutes.
- Add water, salt, ground black pepper and nutmeg. Cook for 30 minutes over low, until the pumpkin gets soft.
- Add the cream and the leek and purée it in a blender, food processor or with an immersion blender. Cook for another 10 minutes to take out the raw flavor of the leek.
- Serve warm. It is good as is, or sprinkle with spring onions and add fresh ciabatta or baguette.
