Pumpkin-pea soup puree
Aromatic, nutritious pumpkin-pea soup puree is made from seasonal vegetables and other budget-friendly ingredients. The pea grains blend well with potatoes and pumpkin, making the soup puree bright, appetizing, and colorful. The bowl with cream soup can be served with rye bread croutons, lavash, flatbreads, or a baguette. You can also add pieces of fried bacon, dried basil, smoked paprika, or a spoonful of homemade cream into the bowl with the thick mixture.
To ensure that preparing the dish doesn’t take too much time, you need to prepare the legumes in advance. Soak the peas in cold water and leave for 5-7 hours. During this time, the grains will absorb moisture and increase in size. Thus, making the soup will take no more than 50-60 minutes. If desired, you can use peas of any shade or replace them with chickpeas. The latter product is recommended to be boiled (until semi-cooked) beforehand and only then added to the container with the preparation.
Depending on your taste preferences, you can add pieces of carrots, celery, parsnip, or sweet potato to the mixture. This way, you can create a soup puree that your whole family will enjoy.
