Cozy Up with Spiced Pumpkin and Apple Soup – A Perfect Fall Recipe

Today’s Fall Recipe: Spiced Pumpkin and Apple Soup

As the weather starts to cool down and the leaves change color, I find myself craving warm and comforting dishes. This Spiced Pumpkin and Apple Soup is the perfect blend of fall flavors, combining the sweetness of apples with the earthiness of pumpkin and a hint of warming spices. It’s a delightful way to celebrate the autumn season.

Ingredients:

• 1 small pumpkin (about 800g), peeled and diced
• 2 apples (about 300g), cored and chopped
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 liter vegetable stock
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 100ml cream
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• large pot
• immersion blender
• knife
• cutting board

To begin, heat a large pot over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, then add the chopped apples and diced pumpkin. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Pour in the vegetable stock and add the cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger. Season with salt and pepper, then bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pumpkin is fork-tender.

Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. Stir in the cream, adjusting the seasoning if necessary. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Serve the Spiced Pumpkin and Apple Soup hot, garnished with a swirl of cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy this cozy and aromatic dish on a chilly autumn evening.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1400g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 350g. An estimated calorie count per serving is 200 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to roast the diced pumpkin in the oven before adding it to the soup. This will enhance the sweetness and depth of flavor in the dish.
