Pumpkin is a beautiful ornamental plant, and you can feed a whole family with such a “berry”! Ron Wallace, a farmer from Rhode Island, raised a 2009 pound fruit and set a world record. More reminiscent of not an edible fruit, but the carriage of the fairy-tale heroine Cinderella. Pumpkin is good and a set of nutrients, and impressive size, and taste. One pumpkin can make dinner! In the culinary sense, pumpkin is unique and universal at the same time: it is used for the preparation of desserts, appetizers, salads, main dishes and soups. Pumpkin soup is healthy and nutritious: in addition, the dish is easy for the stomach, so everyone can eat it. Speaking about making pumpkin soup, it should be said that all recipes are simple and do not require special preparation, so any housewife will cope with this task.

Pumpkin Soup - Food Preparation

The fruit should be selected depending on the characteristics of the dish: for example, when preparing to serve soup directly in a pumpkin, it is necessary to prepare a medium-sized fruit. In addition, it should be noted that the pumpkin should be placed in an oven or microwave. Choose a bright orange ripe pumpkin to make the dish juicy and tasty. Pumpkin soups are colorful and vibrant, especially if you use ripe fruits. Fragrant nutmeg pumpkin will make the soup especially delicious. Pumpkin can be used raw or pre-baked in the oven. The fruit is baked whole or cut: for example, chefs believe that the flavor and color of the pumpkin are better manifested.

Recipe 2: Nutmeg Pumpkin Soup

This soup can be called pacifying and amazing. A great choice for a hearty dinner: it is worth complementing the dish with green salad and fresh bread. Nutmeg pumpkins are usually small in size and have a hard peel. The shape of the nutmeg fruits resembles an acorn, but if you do not find this type of pumpkin, the pulp is ordinary. It takes about an hour and a half to prepare the dish.

Ingredients:
  Butter - 2 tbsp. spoons
  Leek - 2 pcs.
  Onion, finely chopped - 1 pc.
  Diced potatoes - 1 pc.
  Nutmeg Pumpkin - 2 cups Pulp
  Carrots - 1 cup finely chopped vegetable
  Green apple, sliced \u200b\u200b- 1 pc.
  Chicken stock - 1 liter
  Dry white wine - ¼ cup
  Cream 10% fat - ½ cup
  Ground nutmeg - ¼ tsp
  Chives - 2 tablespoons chopped greens

Cooking method:

1. Butter should be melted in a large saucepan over low heat and add the chopped leek. Simmer until leek is soft and translucent - about 5 minutes. Add pumpkin, potatoes, carrots, apple and chicken stock and cook on the fire.
  2. After the broth is brought to a boil, the fire should be reduced to medium and cover. In this state, the soup is cooked for about 20 minutes until the vegetables are ready.
  3. Chop the cooked soup portionwise in a blender or gently knock the soup right in the pan. After turning the soup into mashed potatoes, it is poured into a pan and cream and wine are added. Season the dish with salt, pepper, nutmeg and simmer for 5 minutes. The dish is served hot, garnished with chopped green onions.

Recipe 3: Vegetable Soup with Pumpkin

Very healthy meat-free soup with sour cream. Tasty and easy! You can turn the soup into mashed potatoes using a blender. Soup preparation time is a little over one hour.

Ingredients:
Pumpkin pulp - 1.2 kg.
  Butter - 1 tbsp.
  Onion - 1pc.
  Potato - 4 pcs.
  Carrots - 2 pcs.
  Water - 3 cups
  Salt, pepper - to taste
  Bouillon cubes - 2 pcs.
  Sour cream - 150 ml.

Cooking method:

1. Vegetables - cut carrots, potatoes and pumpkin in large cubes. Onions must be fried in butter until softened. Add vegetables and simmer all the ingredients for about 5 minutes, and then fill with water and add the broth cubes. For about 40 minutes, the soup is simmered in a saucepan with the lid closed.
  2. Puree the soup with a blender, trying not to spatter. We taste the dish for taste, adding salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and add sour cream, and after that the soup is slightly warmed up, but not brought to a boil. Otherwise, sour cream will curl up.

- Before cooking, the fillet can be fried in oil to give the soup a special taste, and the nutritional value of pumpkin soup depends on the fat content of the cream.

- If you plan to have dinner in the near future, choose this recipe: it does not require special efforts, and the dish turns out to be tasty and healthy. Use a blender at minimum speed so as not to get dirty, and if you do not have the knack for making cream soup, then it is better to grind the ingredients in batches.

- At the end, you can sprinkle the soup not with green onions, but with rye crackers or toasted cheese toasts. Watch the cooking time so that the soup does not turn into mashed potatoes ahead of time.

In a stewpan, chopped onions in vegetable oil should be safer. Keep it on fire until lightly browned and soft.

Cut the pumpkin into small pieces and send it to the container for sautéing. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Fill with water or broth. The amount of liquid should be no more than 300 ml. I poured 250 ml, because I like it more thickly. We put the stewpan on the stove, bring its contents to an active boil and reduce the heat. Cover and cook the pumpkin soup for 15 minutes. Then we check the readiness.

For pureeing, you can use a submersible or stationary blender. I like the second option more. Grinds perfectly.

Here is such a uniform, beautiful and mouth-watering soup
