Pumpasoppa / Pumpkin soup

English below.

Recept från http://exkursioner.wordpress.com/tag/hokkaido/

1 Hokkaidopumpa

1,5 L vatten

4 Potatisar

2 dL Linser (jag använde gula)

1 Buljongtärning

Dela pumpan och skrapa ur kärnorna och spara dem till rostning i ugnen. Dela den i fyra delar och baka i ugnen i 200 grader till den är mjuk (20-30 min). Jag skalade sedan bort skalet (ev går det att mixa allt?). Sen ska det mixas till puré.

Skala och skär potatisen i bitar och koka dem tillsammans till allt är mjukt (ca 10 min). Tillsätt pumpapurén,  och buljongtärning och koka ytterligare 10 min.

Mixa sönder potatisen om du vill ha en slät soppa (elvisp funkar inte så bra, så jag nöjde mig med att ha potatisbitar i soppan).

Smaka av med salt och peppar.

The recipe has been inspired from http://exkursioner.wordpress.com/tag/hokkaido/ (in Swedish).

1 Hokkaido pumpkin

1.5 L Water

4 Potatoes

2 dL Lentils (I used yellow)

1 unit of concentrated Broth

Split the pumpkin and save the seeds for later preparation in the oven. Split the pumpkin in 4 pieces and cook in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius until soft (20-30min). I then peeled the pumpkin (maybe not required?). Mix it down to a purée.

Peel and cut the potatoes to smaller pieces. Cook with the lentils in the water for 10 min. Add the pumpkin purée and the broth and cook another 10 min.

Mix the soup if you want to have a plain soup, (is that the correct word for a soup that does not contain pieces?), mix it with a hand mixer.

Add salt and pepper according to taste.

  1. Any ideas on how this will be with butternut squash? I got a couple of cans of that in the pantry and would love to make an easy and yummy soup. How much pumpkin do you think these two pumpkins yielded?

    • I think butternut squash would work as well. You could search on the net, if anybody else tried it, or just try it yourself.
