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.

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
