Cream of pumpkin soup
Dish: Starter
Number: 4
The pumpkin cream is one of the recipes that can never miss in our menu of meals, it is a very comforting and delicious dish, perfect to take it with our meals or on holidays like Christmas, also this pumpkin cream can be taken both hot and cold, we like to take it hot, as we always add some kind of cheese that melts with the cream and gives it a delicious touch.
There are many ways to prepare pumpkin cream, it all depends on the kitchen where it is prepared, but basically consists of a previous cooking of the pumpkin that can be accompanied by other ingredients such as onion, potatoes, some spices and broth, which is then crushed thus obtaining a delicious cream, some people add cream or milk cream to provide more creamy texture, but in our opinion, we do not like to use this ingredient, since we can get an equally creamy texture by just using the pumpkin puree with the rest of the ingredients.
