Pumpkin Soup

Description

Vegetable pureed soups are a perfect solution for everyday meals. They cook quickly, require no special cutting skills, and there's no need for a meat broth, which usually takes a lot of time to prepare. The technology for all soups is simple and quite similar. Once you learn how to make a puree, you can experiment endlessly. The key is to achieve the right consistency—not too thick and not too thin, otherwise the soup will turn into a side dish or, conversely, an indistinct version of a smoothie. In this regard, pumpkin helps maintain the balance: its starchy flesh gives the soup thickness, but once you dilute it with cream, milk, or just water, it becomes fluid. Don’t hesitate to add a little brandy to the soup: the alcohol will evaporate by the time the soup is served, but it will leave a wonderful aroma!
