Chef Tips

- Deixe a sopa amornar ligeiramente antes de bater no liquidificador e retire a tampa central do copo para liberar o vapor sem pressão. - Utilize abóbora cabotiá bem madura com casca escura para obter máxima doçura e consistência aveludada na sopa. - Adicione o gengibre ralado aos poucos para dosar o ardor e garantir que ele complemente o sabor sem dominar a abóbora.

Variations

- Scatter skillet-toasted pumpkin seeds seasoned with salt and paprika over each bowl for crunchy contrast. - Add 1 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg to the heavy cream for classic bistro notes. - Serve with crumbled gorgonzola or grated parmesan cheese sprinkled over the hot soup in the bowl.

Substitutions

- A abóbora cabotiá pode ser substituída por abóbora moranga, abóbora de pescoço ou abóbora japonesa na mesma quantidade de 1 kg. - O creme de leite pode ser substituído por 200 ml de leite de coco integral para uma versão sem lactose. - O caldo de legumes pode ser trocado por caldo caseiro de galinha ou água filtrada com ervas frescas.

How to Store

Guarde a sopa em recipiente hermético fechado na geladeira por até 4 dias. Para reaquecer, leve à panela em fogo baixo mexendo com frequência para o creme de leite não talhar nem grudar no fundo.

Can You Freeze It?

The pumpkin soup freezes perfectly in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and heat over low heat, whisking lightly with a whisk to homogenize the cream.

What to Serve With

Serve in warm bowls accompanied by slices of rustic Italian bread toasted with olive oil or homemade croutons with herbs. A hard-rind cheese grated at the table also complements perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it necessary to peel the kabocha squash for the soup?

The recipe calls for peeled pumpkin for a pure orange color, but you can cook with the sanitized peel to get more fiber and olive-green tone.

How to peel raw kabocha pumpkin more easily?

Heat the whole pumpkin or in pieces in the microwave for 3 minutes to soften the skin slightly before cutting with a heavy knife.

Can I use vegetable broth in powder or cubes?

You can use bouillon cubes dissolved in hot water, but reduce the added salt, as industrialized broths already contain high sodium content.

Can heavy cream curdle when boiling in the pan?

Yes, UHT or fresh heavy cream can curdle with intense boiling; add it at the end over minimum heat, just until reheated.
