German Pumpkin Soup (Kurbissuppe)

In the fall of 2007 I

studied abroad in

Dusseldorf, Germany through

my school's film program.

It was an amazing

experience and one of my

favorite parts of the trip

was all of the German food

that I got to eat. (Mmmm

sauerkraut!) One day we

were working with this

German music professor at

his home and, when it came

time for lunch, his wife

brought over this HUGE pot

of soup and a bunch of

tasty rolls form the

bakerei. It is, 'till this

day, the best soup I've

ever had. I wrote the

professor an email asking

for the recipe and he

brought it to the final

dinner party we had at the

end of the program. It was

entirely in German, and

although my conversational

German was okay, I had no

idea what ginger root

translated to... So, my

host mother was able to

quickly translate the

recipe for me and here it

is, to be shared with you

all! It's a really healthy

dish, and surprisingly

filling for being vegan. I also listed some optional nonvegan addins that you can put in, if you want to make

it a little less healthy :) Guten Appetit!!! And happy autumn!!!!

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Take one of the pumpkins, cut it in half, and scoop out and discard

the insides. Cut the pumpkin into fourths and peel off the skin with a potato peeler. The skin is very hard and

this may take some time. I saw another method here, but didn't try it because I was weary of cooking the pumpkin

in the microwave before cooking it in the pot. Once the skin has been peeled, chop the pumpkin up into roughly 2

inch cubes. Set them aside.

Now take the other pumpkin and cut off the top as you would with a carving pumpkin. Use a medium sized spoon to

scoop out all of the seeds. Sprinkle some salt inside the pumpkin and place a tablespoon of butter or olive oil

inside of it and place the cap back on. Place this pumpkin in a casserole pan and bake in the oven for 4560

minutes, or until the inside of the pumpkin is fairly soft and the outside has turned a deep orange color, like

in the photo below.

Heat the fourth cup of olive oil in a very large pot. Add the onions and sautee until nearly transparent, about

10 minutes. Then add the chopped pumpkin, potatoes, carrots and coriander. Allow to cook for 20 minutes,

stirring every five minutes to cook the vegetables evenly. Then add the garlic, ginger, leek and tomato and

allow to cook for 20 minutes, stirring every five minutes again.

Add the water, boullion cubes, paprika, salt, cloves and cayenne pepper and mix well. Cover and let simmer for

30 minutes. Taste it and add more salt if you'd like, then ladel it into a blender or food processor and make a

puree of the soup. Ladel the pureed soup into the roasted pumpkin and serve it hot with a side of chopped bacon

and an herb sprig for garnish.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I love pumpkin soooo much (I think we have had incredibly deep conversations together

on the topic).

Great touch serving it inside the gourd!

This would be a showstopper at any dinner party. I love how the soup is served in an actual pumpkin

that's been baked, so it's edible, too. Really beautiful!

Reply

EvaOctober 5, 2010 8:45 PM

Thank you all very much :) The roasted pumpkin does taste very good, it's so soft inside that the flesh

just scrapes right off with a spoon when you're scooping the soup out of it, the texture really reminded

me of creamy mashed potatoes.

This looks amazing! I love Pumpkin soup and maybe just about anything with pumpkin in it. I just bought

my first sugar pumpkin of the season and have plans for a Pumpkin Curry Soup that I make every year, but

I'll have to try this as well!

EvaOctober 6, 2010 3:53 PM

Thanks everyone :)

Pumpkin curry soup sounds fantastic, I love the combination of pumpkin with zesty spices like curry and

cayenne.

Looks delicious! Thanks a lot for sharing.

But may I correct the spelling it's 'Kürbissuppe'. (Sorry, perfectionism here...:) )
