[Recipe] Cream of Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients:
1 whole Pumpkin
2 Potatoes
2 Onions
1L of Chicken Broth
1 packet of whip/cooking cream
Salt
Black Pepper

Optional: Curry Powder(2 Tablespoon)
              1 or 2 cloves of Garlic

Total time ~ 2 hours.
Serves 6-8

Steps:
1. First cut the pumpkin in half, remove the seeds and put the pumpkin on a plate with a little water into the microwave and put it on high for about 20 minutes. This is to remove the skin of the pumpkin. (if you are using pumpkin puree, ignore step 1,3,4)

 

2. Peel and cut the onions and potatoes while the pumpkin is in the microwave.

3. Let the pumpkin cool  for about 30 mins so you don't burn your fingers trying to handle it.

4. When the pumpkin has cooled down, remove the skin from the pumpkin, it should be easy to remove now. You can just take a metal spoon and scoop out the pumpkin.

5. Take a big saucepan or pot, put in the onions, potato, pumpkin and chicken broth and cook/simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6. Let it cool for about 30 mins before blending it in batches using a blender or food processor.

7. Take all the blended pumpkin soup and put it back on the stove and heat it.
    Add a teaspoon of salt now and stir it occasionally.
    If you feel that the soup is too thick, add water or more chicken broth to desired texture.

8. Finally, serve in bowls, and add cream.

Enjoy.

If you added Curry Powder, the soup will have an added heat to the taste.
