Pumpkin Soup

Last Monday I was at the Goethe Institut again. Yes again I do love going there when I want to forget the hustle and bustle of Athens, get pampered with soothing Swiss/ German food.
The catering team of the café is lead by Lisa, a lovely woman from the Appenzel
of Eastern Switzerland region, place I love so much for its customs and gastronomic delights it offers.
While the rest of the catering team are from Liechtenstein and Germany.
Lisa made some creamy pumpkin soup and it took a while to register the flavour… Curry.
Simple, delicious and lifting.

So I made mine…
1kilo pumpkin
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
Spring onions
Parsley
Slice the onion and crushed the garlic

As in the photo, it is slightly dark, I burned the onions a bit, the phone rang and I forgot to lower the heat.
Then later in the evening a friend passed by. I offered her a bowl and she thought it was too hot, she is not so used to curry am afraid.. Or I simply over did it.
To lessen the hotness of the curry, I added cream on her soup, giving it a richer velvety taste.
The simplicity of this soup has given us much comfort!

Your pumpkin soup sounds absolutely delicious. Now to find me a hand blender. 🙂
We’ve got a squash in the fridge that looks like that pumpkin. I feel bad because I don’t know a good receipe to make a good soup. Other people in the house do, but never get home in time to start dinner early enough. A drag. I’ll have to start trying a receipe. 🙂
Hi Sha – who doesn’t love pumpkin soup? 🙂 Yours looks really delicious and smooth!
Can I ask where you took the fjord-type photos on top? Looks great.
PUMPKIN PHOTO was taken in Switzerland, Greece I have noticed do not use pumpkins for autumn displays. Strange.
I never failed on this when I serve this soup.
Athina of course I would love to come to Tokyo.. wish list still but soon it come into reality.
