Un classico piatto invernale reso speciale dall'uso della zucca kabocha. La zucca kabocha è nettamente più dolce di quella europea ed è perfetta per realizzare questa semplice ricetta sana e casalinga. Una ricetta assolutamente da provare, ideale per i giorni più freddi.

Ingredienti

1/2 kabocha japanese pumpkin (roughly 1kg raw)
1/2 onion
1 potato
30g butter
600ml vegetable stock
200ml milk

Preparazione

  1. Heat the butter in a large saucepan. Slice the onion, then gently cook the onion for 5 minutes until soft but not caramelised. Peel,  deseed and chop the kabocha pumpkin into bite size chunks. Slice the potato into 5mm thick rounds. Add the pumpkin and the sliced potato to the pan and continue to cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the potato and pumpkin are soft.
  2. Pour the stock into the pan and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and simmer until the vegetables become soft enough to smash with a fork. Then purée with a hand blender or a food processor. Put the soup back into the pan and add the milk and season with salt and pepper. Reheat the soup. Add more milk if needed to reach your preferred consistency.
  3. Taste for seasoning, adjust the amount of salt and pepper. Serve with chopped parsley, croutons or pumpkin seeds. Enjoy warm.
