After the success of my pumpkin pie, I couldn’t resist exploring another pumpkin recipe. This time, I decided on a yummy pumpkin soup. If you find yourself longing for something warm and soothing on chilly days, make sure to save this recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1 small pumpkin
• 150g liquid cream
• 1/2 liter of milk (or 1 liter depending on your taste!)
• Butter
• 1 onion
• Salt
• Pepper
• Fresh basil (optional)

Steps:

• Cut the pumpkin open, empty it and chop it into small pieces. Place the pieces on a baking tray and roast in the oven at 200°C for 40 minutes.

• Once the pumpkin is cooked, remove the skin and transfer the pumpkin purée to a separate bowl.

• In a pan, sauté the diced onion in butter until golden brown. Add the pumpkin purée and stir to blend the flavors.

• Using a hand blender, mix the pumpkin mixture. Pour in the milk and cream, blending until you reach your desired consistency. I prefer a thick, but you can add more milk if you like a lighter texture.

• Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add some fresh basil and serve the soup hot.

BON APPÉTIT!
