Pumpkin soup with Hokkaido and Co.
Pumpkin soup can be prepared with a variety of pumpkins - each one has its own strengths, which you can use skilfully. The bright orange Hokkaido pumpkin, for example, makes pumpkin soup especially easy and quick to prepare: it can be used together with the bowl. In addition, the pumpkin flesh gives the pumpkin soup a nice strong color. It is especially popular for the preparation of pumpkin cream soup. The nutmeg pumpkin gives the pumpkin soup a great aroma and with butternut pumpkin the soup becomes especially creamy.
Our pumpkin soup recipes are guaranteed to provide variety: from fine soup for guests to a hearty stew with plenty of meat. Whether exotic pumpkin soup with ginger or curry or creamy pumpkin soup with potatoes or cream - there is a recipe for every taste.
Indispensable for pumpkin soup: a sharp knife
To peel and cut the pumpkin, however, you need a very stable and heavy knife, because the raw flesh is very hard. The seeds can then be easily scraped off with a tablespoon. After removing the seeds you don't have to throw them away, we show how to roast pumpkin seeds. If you want to make pumpkin cream soup, you also need a blender. You can also hollow out a pumpkin and serve the soup stylishly in the pumpkin bowl.
