It’s autumn! Cold days are arriving and we like to keep ourself warm with tea, hot chocolate and warm  soups! During this time of the year you can find pumpkins everywhere, out of which you can make plenty of nice dishes.

One of my favorites is the pumpkin soup, which is also super easy to make. What I like so much about soups is that you can make some extra and eat from it for several days!

Beside that pumpkin is superhealthy and there are various ways to use them.

What you need:
2lb/1 kg pumpkin (any), chopped into large chunks (remove skin and seeds)
2 medium onions, sliced
2 cloves of garlic
3 cups / 750ml chicken or vegetable stock
Salt and pepper
*If you like spicy, you can add a little cayenne pepper or chillipepper

Instructions:
1. Combine all ingredients (except salt and pepper) in a saucepan and bring to boil, then reduce heat and let simmer until pumpkin is tender.
2. Remove from heat and use a blender to blend until smooth.

Season to taste with salt and pepper, then serve with crusty bread.

Garnishes:  Add a  little bit yoghurt, sour cream or creme fraiche on top.

 

BUON APPETITO !!!
