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.

For the presentation

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