Pumpkin Soup
What you need
- pumpkin
- 1 onion
- butter
- a splash of cream
Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.
What you do
Soften the onion in butter, add cubed pumpkin and water to cover, simmer twenty-five minutes. Blend smooth, stir cream in off the heat.
How it feels to make
Peeling a pumpkin is a fight and the soup is the peace treaty.
Mom wrote on the back
A pinch of sugar if it tastes flat. Pumpkins vary more than you'd think.
