- Ready In:
- 1hr 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1 large onion
- 1 kg pumpkin flesh
- 1 large potato
- herb stock, 7 deciliters or 7 vegetable stock, 1 cube
- salt
- pepper
- 3 -4 grated carrots
- 200 -250 200 -250 ml cream, substitute or 200 -250 ml creme fraiche
- chopped chives
directions
- Chop the onion - not too finely.
- Cube the pumpkin.
- Cube the potato.
- Mix up the stock.
- Grate the carrots and get the cream out of the fridge.
- Saute the onion in some olive oil or margarine or butter - for a minute or two - add the pumpkin - stir every so often - add the potato and 1/3 of the grated carrots.
- When things start becoming slightly soft, add the stock.
- Add salt and pepper. NOTE - I needed a lot of salt for this to become properly tasty, but don't put too much in now. Wait until the soup is almost finished.
- Let cook for about 30 minutes.
- Turn off the stove and use a stick mixer to roughly puree the ingredients. Personally, I prefer leaving some nice little chunks in the soup for texture.
- Add the cream and the remaining 2/3 of the grated carrots and the chives.
- Stir carefully for a little while until the carrots have become warm, but by far soft. Add salt to taste.
- Serve with bread or add croutons to the soup.
- PS - next time I make this, I think I will add 2-3 cloves of garlic and possibly a bit more onion.

This soup is absolutely wonderful on a cold day. During my time spent in Swizerland, my house mom made this on a regular basis and it quickly became my favourite meal. I'm glad to find this recipe because the version of it I had copied was incomplete. This is perfect and oh so good. I could easily eat this every day of my life!

Have lived in Norway, Canada, Australia, Bahrain and now Switzerland. Hope to stay in Switzerland now. I am a housewife with no kids, a cat and a pottery wheel. I love to watch BBC Food and like the way Jamie Oliver cooks. I'm not much into his recipes yet, though, as I can't eat much chili!
