Pumpkin cream

Crema de calabaza

Pumpkin cream soup is an essential staple, especially when we want a comforting, light dish. Its silky texture and naturally sweet flavor make it the perfect choice for a healthy dinner. To season the vegetables and enhance their sweetness without adding sodium, we will use Bonsalt .

Technical Sheet

  • Estimated Time: 35 minutes

  • Difficulty:

  • Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 800g pumpkin (peeled and cut into pieces)

  • 2 carrots

  • 1 leek (white part only)

  • 1 small potato

  • 750ml vegetable stock or water

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • Bonsalt

  • A pinch of white pepper

  • A pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

  1. Vegetable base: Clean and chop the leek. In a pot with the olive oil, sauté it over medium heat until tender. Add a pinch of Bonsalt .

  2. Sautéing: Add the pumpkin, carrots, and potato, all cut into similarly sized cubes. Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes so they soak up the flavor of the sautéed base.

  3. Cooking: Pour in the vegetable stock until the ingredients are covered. Turn up the heat until it comes to a boil, then lower to medium heat. Cover the pot and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the pumpkin is very tender.

  4. Blending: Remove from the heat. Add the white pepper and nutmeg. Blend with a hand blender until smooth and lump-free.

  5. Texture: If you want an even finer texture, you can pass the cream through a chinois or a large strainer. Adjust the seasoning with Bonsalt before serving.

  6. Final touch: Serve very hot. You can garnish each bowl with a drizzle of raw olive oil or some toasted pumpkin seeds.
