Pumpkin Soup with Caramel

Ingredients

Pumpkin - 17.6 oz
Onion - ½ head
Butter - 1.8 oz
Cilantro - to taste
Chicken Broth - 0 fl oz
Soft Toffee - 3.5 oz
Sour Cream - 4 tablespoons

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Peel the pumpkin, cut it into large pieces, and set aside.

Step 2

Chop the onion, place it in a large pot, and sauté in butter over low heat.

Step 3

After 10–15 minutes (when the onion caramelizes), add the pumpkin and broth.

Step 4

Cover the pot with a lid and simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes until the pumpkin is soft.

Step 5

Stir, season with pepper, and serve the soup hot in bowls—so everyone can add cilantro, sour cream, and caramel to taste. The main task is to wait for the caramel to melt into the soup for a uniform flavor. This is an impossible mission for children, who first try to fish out the still solid caramel from the soup.
