Fall is coming and pumpkins are in the stores.
My own planted pumpkins had been assassinated by fast and numerous slugs. What a pity! But next year i will try again!
Do you wanna try my favorite pumpkin soup recipt? Here it is:
1 big Hokkaido pumpkin or two smaller ones
1 big onion
5 cm fresh ginger
800 - 1000 ml vegetable stock
200 g Mascapone or Ricotta or Creme fraiche
Salt and pepper
Oil
150 g smoked ham as topping
Wash pumpkin, remove seeds and cut into pieces. Dice onion. Peel and cut ginger. Heat oil in a pot. Add onions and sauté until soft. Add pumpkin and ginger. Roast two more minutes. Pour vegetable stock over pumpkin until it´s covert. Add more if you like your soup more liquid. Cook until pumpkin is tender. Add mascapone, salt and pepper and purée until smooth. Roast smoked ham until it´s crispy. Serve the soup in bowls and top it with a spoonful of smoked ham.
