Ingredients
- 5 Medium sized red potatoes
- ¼ Japanese Pumpkin Kabocha
- Butternut pumpkin/squash
- Medium size Spanish onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- fresh basil
- dried chilli
- rosemary
- EVOO
- vegetable stock
- salt & pepper
- 350 ml passata
- 1 tock Cube 1L water
- mascarpone to serve
Instructions
- Peel the skin off the potatoes, then wash them under running water.
- Pat them dry and then cut the potatoes in half, then again and into cubes, placing them into a bowl.
- Next, peel the skin off the Japanese pumpkin and cut it into pieces, making sure you remove any seeds.
- Cut your butternut squash in half, and then slice off the top and bottom parts before scooping out the seeds using a spoon.
- Next you need to cut it into pieces and remove the skin, placing everything into a large mixing bowl.
- Finely dice the Spanish onion along with the garlic cloves and put them to the side and chop up some fresh basil leaves and a few sprigs of rosemary.
- Put a pot on the stove at a medium-high heat and add 3-4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Once this has heated up, add the rosemary, onions, garlic and basil.
- Let this gently simmer, stirring it every so often with a wooden spoon before adding half a cup of vegetable stock.
- To season, add salt, pepper and dry chilli (if you can handle it!) and continue to mix through.
- Once the onions have started to soften, add the passata and mix once again, leaving on a medium temperature to cook through.
- Now it’s time for the key pumpkin soup ingredient – pumpkin! Add in the pumpkin and potatoes you cut up earlier and cover them with the remaining chicken stock and 4 x cups of boiling water.
- Add 3-4 more fresh basil leaves and a few more sprinkles of salt, then mix through once again.
- Leave the vegetables on a medium heat for up to 40 minutes (or until it all starts to soften) stirring every 5-10 minutes.
- Now, using a hand blender, mix the ingredients well while still in the pot, creating a rich, thick puree. You can make it as thick or as smooth as you prefer at this point
- E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate….Enjoy!
