Cooking time: 50 minutes

Ingredients (4 servings)
4 piece(s) shallots
1 tablespoon(s) garlic cloves
40 g butter
200 g hokkaido pumpkin
200 ml white wine
600 ml light stock (poultry stock, celery stock)
1 dash cream
some curry
salt
cayennepepper
nutmeg
  • Slice the shallots and sauté together with the garlic cloves in the butter until translucent. Dice the Hokkaido pumpkin and add to the pan.
  • Season with salt, nutmeg, a little curry and cayenne pepper and deglaze with white wine. Allow to simmer completely and pour in the stock.
  • When the pumpkin is soft, add a dash of cream, blend and pass through a fine sieve.
  • If you prefer a stronger flavor, fry some smoked bacon in the soup base.
