INTRODUCTION

When I was shopping this afternoon, I can’t help but buy a rather big portion of pumpkin as the price is very reasonable. If I do not remember wrong, about 1 kg (including skin) of the pumpkin only cost me S$2.00.

Since kids has every mentioned to me that they wanted to try pumpkin soup, I have decided to prepare pumpkin soup for dinner. I know it will be fast, easy and tasty as pumpkin in itself is creamy and sweet.

In order to add to the creaminess of the soup, instead of adding cream, i have use cheese instead. Therefore it is a rather cheesy, thick pumpkin soup. The cheese I selected is Gruyere cheese which has a stronger cheesy flavour. I bought mine at Fairprice supermarket and if you can’t find these, you can always substitute with other cheeses such as cheddar or parmesan cheese.

Kids love this soup to bits. As expected, anything thick, creamy and cheesy kids will definitely like it .. 

WHAT IS REQUIRED

Servings: 2-3 adult servings

• 500 grams of pumpkin flesh
• 50-100 grams of gruyere cheese
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• one big onion
• 2 cups of chicken stock
• Pinches of salt
• Dashes of white pepper

STEPS OF PREPARATION

• Skin off the pumpkin and cut into small pieces. Slice the onion into smaller pieces. Set aside.

• In a pan, melt the butter and sauté the onion until soft and aromatic. Add the sliced pumpkin followed by chicken stock. The chicken stock is for estimation and it must be able to cover the pumpkin completely. Bring to boil and once it boils, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer until the pumpkin is soft. Off the heat.

• Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until fine. Pour the blended mixture to a pot, add pinches of salt and dashes of white pepper followed by the shredded cheese. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes until the cheeses melted. Off the heat the pumpkin soup is ready to be served.
