Truffled Cream of Chestnut Soup
An autumn/winter companion with a warming quality. This is a basic version, feel free to experiment with different herbs or adding white wine to this nice soup.
Cream of Pumpkin Soup (Kürbiscremesuppe)
This delicious soup is traditionally served in autuum and a southern Styrian (Province of Austria) speciality. Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon and garnish with drops of pumpkinseed oil, this really makes a difference! I only use half (100ml) of the usual amount of cream (200ml) as I find that the soup turns out to be sufficiently creamy. If you’d like to go with half of the cream, yet still desire more “texture”, cube a medium sized potatoe and add to soup along with the pumpkin.
