Recipe 3, simple: pumpkin puree soup with vegetables
All vegetables are lightly fried beforehand and this subtlety gives a completely unique taste to the dish. Try to cook and judge for yourself.
- 800 g fresh or frozen pumpkin pulp
- 2-3 carrots
- 3 medium potatoes
- 1 large onion
- butter for frying
- bunch of dill
- salt, black ground pepper
- 1-2 garlic cloves
- 2 celery stalks (optional), I cooked without it this time
Wash potatoes, peel, cut into cubes. Put 1 tbsp in a heated pan. l. or a little more butter, you can add a little vegetable oil. We spread the potatoes and fry it until golden brown.
We put the finished potatoes in an empty pan, in which we will cook pumpkin soup-puree. And add some more butter to the pan and a little vegetable oil, spread the peeled and diced pumpkin and also fry it until golden brown, then transfer it to the pan with the potatoes.
I used ready-made frozen pumpkin, cut into small pieces, to make soup puree. In fact, if you're making raw pumpkin soup, you don't have to cut it so finely, cut it like a potato, or even bigger.
Now clean the onion and cut it into small cubes. Saute in butter until transparent.
We clean the carrots, rub on a coarse grater, add to the pan to the onion and continue to fry for 5-7 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.
We spread the onion with carrots in a saucepan with potatoes and pumpkin. If you like the taste of celery, you can add two finely diced stalks to the pot at this point.
Fill the contents of the pan with boiling water just above the level of vegetables. Salt, bring to a boil and cook over low heat until the vegetables are cooked. This is not very long, since all our vegetables are pre-fried.
When the vegetables are ready, grind the contents of the pan with an immersion blender, then bring to a boil again.
Add chopped garlic, ground pepper, stir, taste, add salt if necessary.
Turn off. Let the soup brew for 15-20 minutes.
When serving, put finely chopped dill in each plate, and also offer a lemon cut into quarters. Drizzled with lemon juice, the pumpkin puree soup acquires a simply excellent taste. I borrowed this subtlety in Turkey, where, as you know, soups are prepared mainly in the form of mashed potatoes. In any cafe, you are offered a lemon by default, or you just take it yourself near the cash register, where lemon quarters always lie next to sliced bread.

I always thought that pumpkin soup is something from the category of fairy tales or fantasy. However, as it turned out, the dish is quite popular. And generally speaking, various soups from pureed vegetables or boiled cereals - often are calling card national cuisines. When it comes to delicious puree soup, I always imagine two dishes: "esogelin" or New England milk soup from clam chowder. Strictly speaking, they treat puree soups very conditionally. Only because of its consistency.
Puree soups are usually made from vegetables. Usually it is a pumpkin, zucchini, zucchini, cauliflower, tomatoes. The process of making soup puree is simple. Vegetables are boiled until cooked, chopped and mixed with broth or broth. A little spices, sometimes chopped herbs - and the soup is ready. Quite often, to increase the density of the soup, various thickeners are added to it, usually flour, less often starch. But adding flour is an amateur, or rather, even a big fan.
Puree vegetable soups are often diluted not with broth or broth, but with milk or cream. Such soups are called "cream soup". This is a cross between vegetable and milk soup, given that a lot of milk is added. A little fresh butter is added to creamed soups without milk, this improves the taste. vegetable soup and slightly increases its nutritional value. However, I confess that I don’t do this: I cook either pure vegetable puree soup or cream soup with cream.
It is worth saying that vegetable puree soups are ideal for baby food. Especially for small children. You can always independently control the origin of vegetables, especially if you have your own garden, as well as the presence and amount of spices. With various (often debilitating) diets, cream-free vegetable puree soups are perfect, given the low calorie content of vegetables. For example, the calorie content of pumpkin is not more than 30 kcal per 100 grams - this is 8-10 times less than that of meat, but it is very high in calories.
In terms of diet food for cooking vegetable dishes perfect pumpkin. When I was little, my grandmother planted pumpkins all over the garden. Not allocating a separate bed for sowing. Large and small pumpkins grew in all sorts of shades of yellow, greenish and orange. After harvesting the potatoes, the pumpkins were simply collected around the garden in a wheelbarrow and brought in a pile under a canopy. Those pumpkins that went to feed pets, my grandmother called "fodder". And we didn't eat them. However, they were quite tasteless and simply huge. But the seeds from such pumpkins were tasty and large. They were dried and roasted in an oven.
To prepare homemade dishes, small 2-4 kg pumpkins were grown, bright enough in color, fragrant and sweet. Cooked pumpkin porridge with rice or millet. Always with milk. Pumpkins baked with apples, nuts and raisins. Sometimes cooked - incredibly tasty. And if there is good honey.
cook tasty soup pumpkin or pumpkin soup is very simple. In the very simple version only need good pumpkin. With the addition of some spices or cream, you can make pumpkin soups with a variety of flavors.

Pumpkin soup. Step by step recipe
- To make a delicious pumpkin soup or creamy soup, you need a small ripened pumpkin. It is worth choosing a brightly colored pumpkin. Orange or dark orange with flesh of the corresponding color.
Pumpkin for pumpkin soup for 4 people
- I remember the ripeness of the pumpkin, we checked it a little by scraping off the top layer with a fingernail: if the flesh was not faded or greenish, then the pumpkin was considered ripe. However, in a store or at a market, this is not worth doing. Well, if the pumpkin is sold already cut (and even peeled).
cut pumpkin
- Cut pumpkin in half and remove seeds. Seeds can be freed from the pulp, similar to wet ropes, washed and dried. Then they need to be fried and you will have a long and exciting activity, from which it is impossible to break away.
- To prepare for cooking, it is better to cut the pumpkin into slices - lengthwise. The width of the slices is approximately equal to the thickness, you should get a square section - it's just more convenient to cook the pumpkin later. Cut the remaining tissue inside the pumpkin with a knife to a hard part. However, if it remains a small amount of fibrous inner part - not scary. You also need to clean the pumpkin from the top crust, especially carefully, so that the soup turns out to be homogeneous and tender.
- Let me say a few words about this process. Pumpkin, especially its upper crust, is quite hard. And in my whole life I broke several knives on a pumpkin, do not repeat my mistakes. A ceramic gourd peeler will not work. He's too fragile. You should also not use thin knives with a long blade - they are too flexible. Use a small, sturdy "vegetable" knife with a short blade. As a rule, vegetable knives in the kitchen are the sharpest. Cleaning a pumpkin is easy.
- Cut the peeled pumpkin slices into cubes.
Peel the pumpkin and remove the seeds.
- Place the cubes of peeled pumpkin in a wide saucepan. Add 1 tsp. sugar and 1-2 sprigs of fresh rosemary. By the way, rosemary will eventually give a barely perceptible aroma and taste. On the verge of perception. Pour pumpkin cold water- so that almost the pumpkin was all in the water. As they say - level. Put the pot on the fire and bring to a boil.
Place the cubes of peeled pumpkin in a wide saucepan. Add 1 tsp. sugar and 1-2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- A lot of controversy on the topic "how much to cook a pumpkin?". Usually pumpkin is boiled for 15-20 minutes. I boil the pumpkin, cut into large cubes, 15 minutes from the moment of boiling. However, there are many excellent dishes made from almost raw pumpkin and even pumpkin soup. So, the time of cooking the pumpkin is at your discretion, given that after 5-7 minutes the pulp of the pumpkin is easily pierced with a knife.
- By the way, do not stir the pumpkin during cooking. Firstly, the welded top layer of the pumpkin is easily damaged, and secondly, the leaves from the rosemary sprigs fly around.
After boiling, remove the pumpkin cubes from the broth with a spoon and put on a plate to cool slightly.
- After boiling, remove the pumpkin cubes from the broth with a spoon and put on a plate to cool slightly. Discard the rosemary sprigs and loose leaves. They are large and noticeable, they are hard to miss.
When the pumpkin has cooled down a little, it must be mashed
- When the pumpkin has cooled down a little, it must be crushed into a puree. It is best to use a kitchen chopper, blender. It's fast and convenient. If the crushed pumpkin is too thick and sticks to the sides of the blender, you can add some of the broth in which the pumpkin was boiled.
- pumpkin puree Pour into a saucepan and add sugar to taste. But do not add too much sugar, otherwise it will not be a soup, but a dessert.
- Next, there are two options. If you decide to cook a cream soup, then you need to dilute the pumpkin puree with milk or cream. The amount of cream is pumpkin soup of the desired thickness.
If you decide to cook pumpkin cream soup, then you need to dilute the pumpkin puree with milk or cream
- If you decide to cook a purely vegetable soup, then dilute the pumpkin puree with the broth that remains after cooking. If desired, in this version, you can add a little fresh natural butter.
- Put the soup on the fire and bring to a boil. Cook while stirring over low heat for 3-5 minutes.
