If you’re like me, you won’t hesitate to start the end-of-year festivities with a slightly lighter but delicious starter like this Pumpkin and Chestnut Soup recipe!

It’s a soup recipe I’m particularly fond of, because it’s quick and easy to make and can be prepared in advance. The taste of pumpkin and chestnut go very well together.

At home, this soup made two dinners and the little ones loved it. With a few slices of bread and a little truffle brie, it was perfect for an evening meal. Yummy!

I made this velvety soup with my KitchenAid multifunction food processor. This little food processor is becoming my best friend in the kitchen because it’s so versatile, easy to use and easy to wash (doesn’t that count either?!)…

The next recipe I want to try with it is a fish terrine for Christmas…

If you are looking for an excellent mixer and multifunction robot, I recommend mine from KitchenAid which I have had for several years and which I use all the time.

It really is a great ally for those who love cooking! It also exists in other colors.

Ingredients

200 g cooked and peeled chestnuts
1/2 pumpkin or 1 pumpkin
1 garlic clove
1 onion
1/2 liter vegetable broth
Fresh liquid cream
1 liter water
1 drizzle olive oil

Instructions

In a saucepan, brown the pressed garlic and finely chopped onion.
Then add all the ingredients, except the cream, and cook covered for around twenty minutes. Check the pumpkin for cooking by inserting a knife into it; it must be well cooked.
Then place all the ingredients in the bowl of your multifunction robot fitted with the slicing knife. Then mix until you obtain a very smooth velvety consistency.
Serve in bowls then add a little cream, salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

For mixing, I used the pulse function of my robot.
Do not hesitate to mix in two batches if the bowl of your food processor is too full.
