Instruction

Preparation step 1

Wash pumpkin

Wash the pumpkin, clean the pumpkin skin and cut off the stalks.

Preparation step 2

Prepare pumpkin

Halve the pumpkin and scoop out the seeds with a tablespoon.

You can use Hokkaido squash or butternut squash for this soup, I tried the recipe with both types of squash.

Preparation step 3

Cut pumpkin

Slice the pumpkin.

Preparation step 4

Cut pieces

Cut the pumpkin slices into small pieces.

Preparation step 5

Sweat pumpkin

Slowly sweat the pumpkin pieces in a tall saucepan with the butter for 10-15 minutes until colourless.

Preparation step 6

Prepare shallot

Halve, peel and finely dice the shallots.

Add to the pumpkin pieces in the pot and sauté briefly until colourless.

Preparation step 7

Deglaze

Deglaze with white wine and vegetable broth.

Bring the soup to the boil.

Cook the pumpkin pieces over low heat until soft.

Preparation step 8

Add ginger

Chop the ginger and optionally fresh turmeric and add to the soup.

I put turmeric as a spice in the ingredients list.

Season the soup base with salt, pepper, nutmeg, chili, curry and a little sugar.

Preparation step 9

Preserve color

Tip:

Let the soup start to simmer without the lid.

Putting the lid on would change the color of the soup to greyish.

Preparation step 10

Mix soup

Finely mix the cooked pumpkin and soup base with a hand blender.

Then let the soup steep for another 5-8 minutes so that the flavor can fully develop.

Optionally mix soy cream or coconut milk into the boiling soup.

Optionally, you can pass the soup through a fine hair sieve.

Preparation step 11

Prepare prawns

Peel the thawed prawns and remove the casing from the curved top.

Leave the shrimp fins attached to the prawns body.

Halve the prawns body with a cut in the middle up to the fin.

Preparation step 12

Fry prawns

Fry the prepared prawns in a pan with a little sunflower oil over high heat.

By cutting the prawns body in half, the prawns turn up when frying and are easier to serve in the soup. A notice:

The halved prawns will cook faster, high heat is required.

Leave the fried prawns in the pan near the stove to serve.

Preparation step 13

Prepare tofu

Optionally cut tofu cubes as a soup garnish for the vegan version of the pumpkin soup.

Fry the cubes briefly in the pan with sunflower oil.

Prepare for serving and keep warm.

Preparation step 14

Mix soup

Taste the soup again before serving.

Mix in cold butter.

Preparation step 15

Arrange

Serve the soup in warm soup bowls.

Place the fried prawns in the middle. Alternatively arrange the tofu cubes.

Decorate with sesame, cress, soy sauce and red berries and serve.

Enjoy your meal!

Note about the video:
The embedded video shows the basic preparation of the pumpkin soup.

Note the ingredients and refine the soup to your taste.

Variant with salmon:
Please heat the plates in advance at 80°C or in the microwave!

Place the raw salmon pieces in the soup bowls and pour the boiling soup over them.

Serve the soup, the salmon soup garnish is finely poached at the table until translucent.

3. Tips for Making Pumpkin Soup with Ginger

I love this soup because the ingredients make it taste really exciting.

Get some fresh ginger and madras curry , this goes best with the soup.

The curry insider tip :

Wherever curry comes in, always season with something sweet ,

this makes the curry and the entire preparation a treat for the palate and will delight you twice as much.

Always add some brown sugar, honey or agave syrup to the curry, which makes the curry taste round.

Tip for seasoning the soup from chef Thomas Sixt

4. For Special Days… Pumpkin Soup with Ginger and Prawns

This soup is a great dish when guests come to you or you want to conjure up something special for your loved ones.

You can get different types of shrimp in the supermarket.

Raw shrimp: You can tell by the gray color.
Cooked shrimp: These are already cooked and glazed.

—> Please only toss cooked crustaceans very briefly in butter, otherwise they will get a rubbery consistency.

—> Please peel the raw crustaceans, cut the top and remove the intestines, then fry over high heat.

Alternative soup accompaniments: Instead of the crustaceans, you can also use pieces of salmon or modify the soup accompaniment to make it vegetarian or vegan with smoked tofu.

Insole variants tip from chef Thomas Sixt

There is also a tip for smoked tofu:

Place the diced smoked tofu decoratively in the soup and coat the tofu with sesame seeds, as I show with the tofu with sesame dish.

5. Variants Tips for Pumpkin Soup with Ginger

I would like to list some ideas for the encores here:

• Broth: You can use vegetable broth or chicken soup as a base.
• Cream: Try adding coconut milk, cream or soy cream.
• Butter: The soup gets an exciting taste with nut butter instead of fresh butter!
• Pumpkin: The Hokkaido pumpkin is absolutely gelingsicher with skin.
• With muscat pumpkin or butternut squash – use peeled – you show your expert status in the kitchen.
• Tamari: Boil down some soy sauce, drizzle a little of it into the soup. Taste explosion!
• Pumpkin seed oil: The oil also fits this soup, less is more!

I always serve this soup strained and foamed!
