Ingredients
- 500g (2 cups) cooked pumpkin
- 25ml (2 tablespoons) onion, finely chopped
- 12½ (1 tablespoon) butter or margarine
- 500ml chicken stock
- 500ml milk
- 5ml lemon juice
- 50ml double cream
- 1ml (¼ teaspoon) ground cloves
- 2ml (½ teaspoon) sugar
- 2ml (½ teaspoon) salt
- Garnish : croûtons
Directions
Melt the butter or margarine in a heavy saucepan and sauté the onion until transparent but
not brown. Add the cooked pumpkin. Chicken stock, milk, lemon juice, ground cloves, sugar
and salt but not the cream and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Puree the soup by forcing it through a fine sieve or, if a coarser consistency is desired,
stir well with a wooden spoon. Stir in the cream and heat well, but do not boil.
Serve hot with croûtons.
To serve the soup cold, chill for at least 2 hours and serve garnished with a thin slice of
peeled orange instead of the croûtons.
