Velvety pumpkin soup (pumpkin cream) is a soup made from pumpkin, usually potatoes are added, sometimes carrots and cooked with vegetable broth. There are those who add cream, I prefer not, it is already tasty and perfect without cream, better not to add unnecessary fat! I often prepare it in autumn! Read more fall recipes

• then cover with about 3 large ladles of vegetable broth. Cover with the lid and leave to cook over medium-low heat for about 30 minutes. halfway through cooking remove the sprig of rosemary, leaving some leaves anyway.
• The squash and potatoes are soft at this point and fall apart, so they are cooked. We turn off the heat and blend everything with an immersion blender.

• If it is too thick, add a little more vegetable broth, if it is too liquid, let it cook for another 5 minutes to thicken more.
