Ingredients

  • 1 kg pumpkin pulp
  • A big onion
  • A celery stick
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 potatoes (medium-big size)
  • Rosemary
  • Bay leaves
  • Salt
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • A stock-cube (optional)

Directions

  1. Peel the vegetables and dice them (roughly).
  2. Put in a large pressure cooker a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, the vegetables and the herbs: stir and cook for about 10 minutes to mix all the flavours (if necessary, add some water).
  3. Now, Pour in water (about 2l) to cover the vegetables, add a drizzle of oil and, if you want to, a stock-cube (season with salt consequently). Close the pressure cooker, and cook on high heat for about 30 minutes from the whistle.
  4. Let the soup cool down, then purée with a hand mixer.
  5. I love this soup even "pure", with some parmesan cheese only, but its variations are illimited: often I add some croutons, sometimes I put a spoon of cream in the middle of the dish. To obtain a more nourishing dish, you can add some pasta or some cereals (previously cooked -firm- or uncooked), especially pearl barley.
