Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2007 9:28 am
As promised on another thread, here is my recipe.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon of sunflower oil
2 tablespoons of butter
1 large onion, sliced
6 cups of pumpkin cut into large chunks
3 cups of sliced potatoes
2 1/2 cubs of vegetable stock
a good size pinch of nutmeg
1 teaspoon of chopped fresh tarragon
2 1/2 cups of milk
1 to 2 teaspoons of lemon juice
salt and pepper
Heat oil and butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Add the onion and fry for 4 to 5 minutes over low heat until soft but no brown, stirring frequently
Add the pumpkin and potatoes and stir well. Cover and sweat over low heat for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are almost tender, stirring occasionally to sotp them sticking.
Stir in stock, nutmeg, tarragon, and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are completely tender.
Leave the soup to cool slightly, pour into a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Pour back into the rinsed saucepan and add the milk. Heat slowly and taste, adding the lemon juice and extra seasoning as desired.
