Delicious pumpkin soup recipe

Mmmh… a tasty pumpkin soup! This is simply a must in autumn and winter. Here is a wonderful recipe that is easy to cook.

Pumpkins have long been a firm favourite in the kitchen. And rightly so, because when the evenings get cooler, it’s «soup time» again. Here’s a recipe for a delicious pumpkin soup with white wine.

Ingredients for 4:
600 g pumpkin, cut into small cubes, butter, 1 onion, cubed, a pinch of grated ginger root, 2 dl liquid cream, 4 dl white wine (e.g. Riesling), 2 dl vegetable stock, 1 teaspoon curry powder, pepper to season.

Preparation:
Sauté the onion and ginger in the butter. Add pumpkin, dust with curry powder and deglaze with the wine and stock. Cook until soft for approx. 20 minutes then purée with a hand blender. Add cream and season with pepper. Garnish with roasted pumpkin seeds and a little pumpkin oil if you wish. Enjoy!

By the way: according to specialists, pumpkin soup is great for people who tend to feel cold quickly because pumpkin warms you up from the inside. Seasoning with curry and ginger will reinforce the effect – both these spices stimulate heat production through thermogenesis.
