Velouté de Potimarron et Morteau

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Total Time: 50 minutes

Yield: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 Pumpkin weighing around 2 kg
• 2 Morteau sausage (you can replace them with other smoked sausages, or even Knacks, but it's not ideal. I didn't try with smoked pork belly, but I guess it would work properly too)
• 1 Onion or 2 shallot (how to choose ? shallots are sweeter, but they make you cry more)
• 1 kg Carrot
• 1-2 tsp Olive oil (you can go for butter instead, but i'm from the south so, olive oil for me)
• 1-2 tsp Heavy cream
• Chicken broth (from cubes or homemade. Seriously, you should learn how to make it yourself, it's easy and it's always useful' maybe I'll write a recipe, if there are interested people)
• Salt
• Pepper

 

 

Steps:

1. Peel and cut the pumpkin into cubes.

It sounds delicious. But like most recipe writers, you really under-exaggerate on the prep time. Ten minutes? It will take me nearly ten minutes just to get out all the food and tools, and you want me to peel four and a half pounds of carrots, peel and chop an onion, and peel and chop a huge pumpkin?
