Hi friends, forgive me for being away for so long. I will admit I was tempted several times to post a hurried recipe with bad photos taken on endless rainy days and not much of a story just to let you know I hadn't disappeared into thin air, but then I decided against it, because this is one of the few places in my life were I shouldn't feel like I have to clock in, right?
In between all the pre-holiday craziness and work and just life, I was lucky enough to hop over to NY for a long week end (without kids or husband - a first - but more on that some other time), which required a certain amount of planning ahead and some catching up after, but was totally worth it.
And so now I am finally back to give you the perfect autumn recipe right before winter comes knocking on the door. A recipe that my daughter, who strongly dislikes pumpkin (I know, what is that about???), specifically requested - so that is how good it is. I suggest that even you pumpkin haters out there (if there are any besides my offspring) try it.
If you love the umami of dried mushrooms and love warming soups, check out this recipe too.
Ingredients
1kg pumpkin
20gr dried porcini mushrooms
1l water or vegetable stock
1 onion or 2 scallions
1tbsp olive oil
1tbsp butter (optional for a vegan recipe)
salt
pepper
grated Parmesan cheese (same as above)
pumpkin seed oil and thyme for garnish
Soak the dried porcini mushrooms in a bowl in hot water for at least half an hour before using. Peel and coarsely chop the onion or scallions (or both!).
In a heavy-based pot heat olive oil and butter and sautée the onions. While they are softening, clean and de-seed the pumpkin and cut into cubes. Add into the pot, cook for a few minutes and add the water/stock, the mushrooms and the liquid they soaked in. Cook until the pumkin is tender. Adjust for salt and pepper.
Purée the vegetables until creamy.
Serve with lots of grated Parmesan cheese and freshly ground pepper. I also drizzled over a little pumpkin seed oil and garnished with some thyme.
So nice to see you back in action! This looks like a lovely, fine soup—especially like the color and that drizzle of pumpkin oil, but I'm not sure I've ever seen it on sale where I live. Will have to look out for it!
ReplyDeleteI bought mine in Germany if that makes you feel any better ;o)
DeleteYour soup looks so so good! Love the garnishes too.
ReplyDeleteOoh I have everything for this in my pantry! It has been ages since I made a soup but I really want to make this :D
ReplyDeleteYummy, pumpkin and mushrooms! Too good to be true! Lovely presentation as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat an unusual combination! I want to give this a try, and will get a pumpkin at the market tomorrow! Glad you are back again! ~ David
ReplyDeleteExactly what I think! Not a place to clock in. Especially if waiting gives us such great recipes!!
