When autumn arrives with its warm colors and intense aromas, nothing warms the heart like a homemade pumpkin and potato cream soup. If we also add carrots, the result is a soft, enveloping, nutritious and light cream, perfect as seasonal comfort food. In this recipe we show you how to make a pumpkin, potato and carrot cream soup with a balanced taste, enriched with a drizzle of Contedoro extra virgin olive oil, which with its fruity flavor completes the dish with elegance.
Wash and peel the potatoes and carrots, then cut them into rounds. Do the same with the pumpkin, removing the skin and seeds, then cut it into cubes. In a large pot, pour a generous drizzle of Contedoro EVO oil and slowly sauté the finely chopped onion until golden. When golden, add the cut vegetables, mix well and let them flavor for a few minutes. Cover everything with hot broth and cook over medium heat for about 25-30 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.
At this point blend everything with an immersion blender until you obtain a smooth and creamy soup. Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste. If you want an extra aromatic touch, you can add a sprig of fresh rosemary during cooking (to be removed before blending).
Serve your pumpkin, carrot and potato cream soup piping hot, garnished with a raw drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil and, if desired, with toasted pumpkin seeds, bread croutons or a sprinkling of Parmesan. It can become a perfect first course in an autumn menu or a light and healthy dinner.
This pumpkin and potato cream soup is only apparently simple: everything revolves around the quality of the ingredients. Contedoro extra virgin olive oil, obtained from hand-picked olives and cold-pressed in our mill, gives the dish a perfect balance between sweetness and intensity, enhancing the taste of the vegetables without covering it.
This preparation can also be served as pumpkin and potato cream, carrot and potato purée or light autumn vegetable soup. Simply vary the amount of broth or add other seasonal vegetables such as leeks or celery.
A humble dish but rich in nutrients, perfect for adults and children. In every spoonful you find the sweetness of pumpkin, the consistency of potatoes, the color of carrots and the bold and aromatic touch of Contedoro EVO oil. A genuine soup, perfect for warming the coldest evenings and nourishing the body with simple but extraordinary ingredients.
