Pumpkin soup with minced meat

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   These are the ingredients needed for the soup.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the potatoes into cubes and cook until done. Cut the leek into rings.

3. STEP 3

   

   Lightly fry the leek in a frying pan with the addition of vegetable oil.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add the minced pork to the onion and continue frying until done.

5. STEP 5

   

   Grate the carrots on a coarse grater and also fry with a spoonful of oil.

6. STEP 6

   

   Peel and cut the pumpkin.

7. STEP 7

   

   Boil almost the entire pumpkin (leave a couple of slices) separately until tender and puree it together with the carrots in a blender. I cooked and pureed immediately in a Thermomix type kitchen machine. Place all the prepared ingredients in a saucepan with potatoes, bring to a boil and let simmer for a couple of minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Fry pumpkin seeds in a frying pan without oil.

9. STEP 9

   

   Cut the remaining pumpkin into small cubes, about 1cm, and quickly fry with the last of the oil added.

10. STEP 10

    

    I use pumpkin cubes and seeds as a side dish for the finished soup and, together with sour cream, add it to each plate before serving.
