Pumpkin Soup Boule
In this recipe: Sourdough Cob
Ingredients
- 1 COBS Bread Sourdough Cob
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1/2 Small Onion, finely diced
- 1/2 tsp Minced Ginger
- 1 Clove of Garlic, finely minced
- 1/4 cup Whipping Cream
- 400ml Pumpkin Puree
- 1/2 cup Chicken Stock
- 1/2 cup Water
- Pinch of Ground Nutmeg
- Pinch of Ground Cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425F
- In a saucepan add butter and melt over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until brown (about 7-9 minutes)
- Add garlic and ginger with the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes
- Add the chicken stock and water to the saucepan to deglaze the pan. Reduce liquid to half (about 5 minutes)
- Add pumpkin puree and stir until thoroughly mixed. Cook for 5 minutes
- Add whipping cream and stir until it is combined. Lower heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes
- Add a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon, stir and take the saucepan off the heat. Set aside
- While soup is simmering start to prepare your soup boule. Using a bread knife, place the sourdough cob placed on a cutting board, cut a “lid” off the cob (start approximately 2 centimetres from the top). Follow the cut around the circumference of the cob until you complete a full circle and can take the “lid” off
- Using your fingers take out the inner crumbs from the sourdough boule, leaving about 1cm of crust all around and the bottom of the bread boule. Careful not to poke a hole in your bread bowl as the soup will leak out
- Place the hollowed-out bread bowl and “lid” on a baking pan and bake in the oven for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside
- Fill your bread boule with pumpkin soup, leaving about 1 cm space from the top
- Garnish with finely minced parsley, sour cream or any other toppings you like, serve hot
