Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 22 ozs Pumpkin
- 3 ½ ozs Whipped cream
- 34 ozs vegetable stock
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- salt
- peppers (freshly ground)
- Nutmeg (freshly grated)
- 4 Tbsps Sour cream
- 4 Tbsps Pumpkin seed (roasted)
- parsley
Preparation steps
Cut the pumpkin into small pieces, and place in a pot. Add enough vegetable stock to almost cover. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and gently simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the pumpkin is tender.
Puree in a blender, and stir in the lemon juice. Add the cream, and possibly some vegetable stock if the soup is too thick. Bring quickly to a boil, then remove from the heat and season with the salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the chopped parsley, if you'd like.
Divide into bowls, top with a dollop of sour cream and the roasted pumpkin seeds, and serve immediately.
