Pumpkin served in a bottle, the weekly special in the Chef’s Handyman food blog!
What’s the white liquid in the bottles? These little things got my attention. Then I recognized the card next to them. Cold potato soup was written there. What great idea! Serving soup in bottles for aperitif! Normally soup is served in little cups or glasses. So my next aperitif was born.
What about hot pumpkin soup? The soup I have tested was cold. Well, I worked it out. My guests were amazed. It’s so convenient. They still can walk around and having the aperitif outside in the garden. A soup to go! Why not!
The Chef’s Handyman tip for aperitif: Pumpkin soup in the bottle!
Peel and cut pumpkin and sweet potatoes in pieces. Chop onions and glaze them in a large pan. Add 1 tbsp. of Ras el Hanout and 2 laurel leaves. Peel peach, cut in pieces. Add pieces. Deglaze with 1 cup of vegetable stock. Close pan and simmer for 15 minutes on low heat. When pieces are soft, mix them with the hand blender. Season the soup to taste with salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Add cream. When soup is too thick, add more hot vegetable stock.
Fill the soup in bottles by pit. Garnish with eatable flower and a straw.
