Today I am thinking about pumpkin soup. Too early for pumpkins, but not too early to plan. I have never forgotten the fabulous pumpkin soup we had in Malaucene, in Provence. It was smooth, slightly sweet, velvety deliciousness. I would have been happy with a big bowl of soup and a toasty baguette. However, it was the first course, gone in a few minutes, but never forgotten.
So, for the next few weeks, I am going to seek out recipes for pumpkin soup, looking for "the one". I have heard that the secret to pumpkin soup is to use squash, not pumpkin. Well, our Malaucene soup was pumpkin!
Didn't you make pumpkin soup for us when you came to visit for Thanksgiving in 2002? I remember it was scrum-dilly-umptious!!
ReplyDeleteI might have, but can't remember which recipe I used. Of course. In any case, I have not yet found one as good as Malaucene. Could be as simple as the right combination of spices used. Something fun to experiment with in my new kitchen. :)
ReplyDeleteMmmm! Butternut squash soup is a favorite of mine...and so easy!! A good recipe in Vollstedt's Soup's book!
ReplyDeleteKay, I had pumpkin soup in Belgium but I don't remember the recipe. The secret is probably butter, nutmeg and heavy whipping cream....maybe some leeks?????
ReplyDeleteThanks sis! Sounds delicious. I will take your suggestions under advisement.
