Equipment

  • 1 Large pot
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Ginger grater

Ingredients
  

  • 500 gr pumpkin
  • 1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 shallot (if you don't have shallot, a small onion works too)
  • 1 cm fresh ginger
  • 1 sprig of rosemary (better if fresh)
  • 1 sprig of thyme (better if fresh)
  • 1 pinch of salt (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Start by chopping the garlic and the shallot (or onion) and grating the fresh ginger
  • Add the oil to the pot and when warm, add the chopped garlic and shallot (or onion).
  • When brown, add the peeled pumpkin cut into cubes and mix with the rest.
  • When the pumpkin is blended with all the flavors, add hot water just up to the level of the pumpkin, not more.
  • After adding the water, you can add all together the thyme, rosemary, grated ginger, and salt to taste.
  • Cook for some 20 minutes or until the pumpkin is soft.
  • When you see the pumpkin has softened, turn off the fire and blend with an immersion blender directly in the pot.
  • Taste and adjust the salt.
  • Serve warm just like this or with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
