Yesterday for lunch, it was again one of those days where you stare into the fridge and don't know what to make. The stomach is growling, the dog is howling and all you want to do is eat something delicious. Luckily my sister bought a pumpkin a couple of days earlier, so we decided to make it into a soup. I always thought that pumpkin soup takes forever and is really difficult to make, but with the Hokkaido Pumpkin you don't even have to peel the damn thing and its done within 15 minutes.
Here's how it goes:
1 Hokkaido Pumpkin
2 cups of water
1 Bullion cube
1 onion
Salt
Pepper
Curry Powder
Cinnamon
Sugar
Orange Juice (If you want)
Wash the pumpkin and cut off the stem. Cut it once in the middle and take out all the seeds and mushy stuff. Cut the pumpkin into large chunks and put them into a pot. Peel and cut the onion and put it into the pot. Cover them with the water and plop in the buillon cube. Bring the pot to a boil and cook for about 10-15 minutes until they pumpkin is really soft. Take a pureé stick machine (I would really encourage everyone to invest in one of these) and mush it all together. Add some Salt, Pepper, Currypowder and Cinnamon to taste. Finally add a pinch of sugar, and some Orange Juice to bring out the pumpkin flavor. Stir and serve with some créme Fraiche or Sour cream.
