Basques use ham and chicken in different entrees. This is an outstanding cream soup that will have you coming back for more. The recipe calls for you to let the soup sit for 2 hours to let the flavors blend – but I usually whip this soup up the day before I need it as it is so much better the second day.
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.
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.
I will be making this soup with the homemade vegetable stock we will be making in Chef Kate and Chia’s future stock making class. The recipe originated from a australian recipe website and will also be included in the Zaar World Tour 2005 swap.
