Pumpkin Soup

Pumpkin soup, or soup, is practically a puree thinned with broth or cream (if you want to make it lighter, milk is also fine.) It is usually consumed hot. But you will certainly also appreciate the cold version of the pumpkin soup, simply very pleasant. Much loved in Europe and beyond, we know for sure that it is one of the many popular dishes used on Thanksgiving Day in the United States. The pumpkin soup, as soft as cashmere. Now that it’s pumpkin season, I freeze it cut into small pieces in bags already ready in portions, at the time of use, obviously raw and there is no need to defrost it before using it.

in cucina con pina

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
