As autumn spreads its layer of colorful leaves, our taste buds demand comforting flavors. Let me guide you in preparing a soup that will awaken your senses and warm your nights: pumpkin soup with goat cheese.

Ingredients :

• 1 kg pumpkin (butternut, pumpkin or pumpkin), peeled and cut into cubes
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium potato, peeled and cut into cubes
• 1 liter of vegetable broth (or chicken, if you prefer)
• 150 g fresh goat cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Liquid cream to serve (optional)
• Fresh herbs to decorate (chives, thyme or parsley)
• Croutons or nuts to add crunch (optional)

Instructions :

Prepare the vegetables: start by peeling and cutting the pumpkin into cubes, cut the onion and chop the garlic. Don't forget the potato, which will give thickness to your soup.

Sauté: Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until soft and transparent.

Cook vegetables: Add the pumpkin and potato cubes to the pan and let them take on a little color. This is where the magic begins, the juices are released and the flavors develop.

Simmer: Pour the hot broth over the vegetables and bring to a boil. Then simmer until the vegetables are very tender, this will take around 20 minutes.

Blend: Using a hand blender or traditional blender, blend the soup until smooth and velvety.

Cheese Finish: Add the goat cheese and stir until completely melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Service: Serve the soup hot with, if desired, a splash of liquid cream. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs, add a handful of croutons or nuts for contrast.

The combination of the sweetness of the pumpkin and the creaminess of the goat cheese creates a simple and sophisticated dish. It is an invitation to enjoy the pleasures of the season, to slow down and enjoy cuisine that warms the body and soul.
