This year, our usually abundant Hokkaido harvest was rather disappointing. So, after quite some time, we bought a pumpkin again. Butternut squash has a slightly sweet flavor with subtle notes of butter and nuts.
Basically, this pumpkin soup is prepared just like a regular pumpkin soup. The only difference is that butternut squash needs to be peeled. So first, off with the skin.
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash
- 1 leek
- 2 carrots
- 1 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- salt, pepper, sunflower oil*
- pumpkin seed oil
*I usually use olive oil. Sunflower oil has a neutral flavor.
Preparation
Wash the pumpkin, remove the stem end, peel it and cut it in half. Remove the seeds and cut the pumpkin into small pieces.
Sauté the finely chopped onion in a pot, then add the remaining chopped vegetables. Sauté everything briefly, then cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 35 minutes.
Add the spices, salt and pepper. Purée the soup thoroughly with an immersion blender.
