Ingredients (for 4 servings):

For The Soup

  • 500g sweet pumpkin
  • 40g butter
  • 60g leek, cut into chunks
  • 80g golden apples, cut into chunks
  • white wine
  • 1.2ml chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt
  • Pepper

For The Cream

  • 100ml heavy cream 20%
  • Salt
  • Pepper

For The Pepper Oil

  • 10g hot pepper, finely chopped
  • Clove of garlic, finely chopped
  • 3g coarse salt
  • 40ml olive oil

To Serve

  • 40g bread, toast, or croutons
  • 40ml whipped cream
  • 40g apple, cut into cubes

Preparation

For The Soup

Peel a squash, grate it and chop it into small pieces. Saute in a saucepan with the butter, leeks, and apples until they take on a beautiful blonde color. Add the pumpkin, saute for another minute, quench with white wine, top with chicken broth, and let the soup boil for 10 minutes. Then add the bay leaf, season slightly, and continue cooking for about 20 minutes.

For The Cream

Once the soup ingredients are boiled, remove the bay leaf and mash the soup with a blender. Carefully pass it through the colander and press it very well with a spoon. Turn up the heat, add the cream and season.

For the Pepper Oil

Grate the pepper and garlic with a little coarse salt in a bowl. Leave the mixture for about 10 minutes and add the olive oil. Leave the olive oil for about 1 hour and then transfer to a pan, passing the mixture through a sieve.

Serving Time!

Serve in a soup bowl or glass, accompanied by toasted bread or croutons, spicy oil, whipped cream, and apple.
