In Italy the word we use for this dish is "Vellutata" it literally traduce with "velvety", this is just to let you understand the consistency of the cream so velvety :D
I know the soup it is usually something you fancy more during winter time but, every time I'm going to the groceries store and I see this kind of pumpkin I always want to buy one to make the soup! It is a nice way to eat vegetables and I always add a carrot and a potatoes to add an extra taste! You can add your favourite spices to create a different taste and find your perfect match!
Doses for 2 portions
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pumpkin squash
- 1 carrot
- 1 potatoes
- 1/4 onion
- 1l/800ml of broth
- salt as needed
- pepper as needed
EQUIPMENTS
- knife
- casserole
- blender
PROCEDURE
We will start to prepare our magic "soffritto", if you are following us you should now right now, chopped the onion and the carrot in little pieces and put them in the casserole with the oil.
Keep going for a while until the change color and became little bit dry, at this point you can add the squash already chopped.
Let's cooking for 3 minutes the squash only with the "soffritto" and stir. Add the chopped potatoes too.
You are now ready to add the broth, as suggestion I usually start with 500ml and adding later the rest, it will depend on how much thick you like it.
Add salt and pepper and keep cooking for 30 minutes, you can even add some spices!
Keep stirring now and then, if it became too dry you can add more broth.
After 30 minutes you will notice the squash become soft and you can even mashed with the wooden spoon. Now you are ready to blend it.
Your cream is ready ;)
SUGGESTIONS
I suggest you to add a little bit of milk, double cream or yogurt to add a little more creaminess. Add some mushrooms or some dice pancetta to upgrade it!
If you want to be "wild" and ethnic add a pinch of curry :D
