CHILLED PUMPKIN SOUP



Chilled Pumpkin Soup image

I make this recipe all the time. The only thing I leave out is the milk. I use the optional orange rind as it adds to the dish. I prefer bay leaves. I don't use any of the garnishes, I just place shredded Parmesan cheese on the top. Middle of step 5 - I use a strainer and pour the excess liquid into a small pan then use my hand wand to puree the mixture but slowly add the excess liquid as my husband prefers a thicker soup then a runny soup. The recipe comes from a book called 'Soups - Quick and Easy' which is published by Parragon

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 kg pumpkin
40 g butter or 40 g margarine
1 onion, sliced thinly
1 garlic clove, crushed
3 1/2 cups vegetable stock
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 -4 orange rind, thinly pared strips (optional)
1 -2 bay leaves or 1 -2 bouquet garni
1 1/4 cups milk
salt and pepper
4 -6 tablespoons plain yogurt or 4 -6 tablespoons fromage frais
chives, snipped

Steps:

  • Peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds and then cut the flesh into 2.5 cm/1 inch cubes.
  • Melt the butter or margarine in a large, heavy-based saucepan. Add the onion & garlic and fry over a low heat until soft but not coloured.
  • Add the pumpkin and toss with the onion for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the stock and bring to the boil over a medium heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and add the ginger, lemon juice, strips or orange rind, if using, and bay leaves or bouquet garni. Cover and simmer over a low heat for about 20 minutes, until the pumpkin is tender.

KOLOKYTHóSOUPA (GREEK PUMPKIN SOUP)



Kolokythósoupa (Greek Pumpkin Soup) image

This is a Greek version of pumpkin soup. Submitted for ZWT 6. The recipe says either water or stock, but I prefer stock because with water it's a bit bland. Also I add some more cinnamon and allspice after pureeing and adding stock and yoghurt, but that's personal preference.
