Cream of Pumpkin and Potato Soup with Royal Truffle Sauce

3 dishes with pumpkin and potato cream soup of a beautiful warm orange color with toasted bread croutons

Ingredients (for 4 people):

600 g pumpkin (Delica or Violina type)

300 g of potatoes

1 white onion or 1 shallot (more delicate)

1 liter of vegetable broth

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

salt and black pepper to taste

4 teaspoons of royal truffle sauce Lina Sapori e Delizie

toasted bread croutons for garnish

Preparation:

1. Prepare the vegetables: Clean the pumpkin, remove the peel, seeds, and fibers, then dice it. Peel the potatoes and dice them. Finely chop the onion or shallot.

2. Sauté: In a large saucepan, heat the extra virgin olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté over low heat for a few minutes, until soft and translucent.

3. Cook the soup: Add the pumpkin and potato cubes to the pot. Stir well and simmer for about 5 minutes. Pour in the vegetable broth until all the vegetables are covered, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil.

4. Blend: Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are very soft. Turn off the heat and blend everything with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, you can add a little broth.

5. The finishing touch: Serve the cream soup warm in individual bowls. Place a teaspoon of Lina Sapori e Delizie Royal Truffle Sauce in the center of each portion. Gently stir the sauce on the plate before enjoying.

6. Garnish: Complete the dish with crispy toasted croutons.

Advice:
