APPLE AND GINGER SOUP



I tried this soup on my friend's house and since then I have made it several times. Perfect for Summer.
Ingredients
2 or 3 apples (depending on size)pealed and chopped
1 onion
1 potato pealed and chopped
1 celery stick chopped
1 soup spoon of butter
300 grs of pumpkin pealed and chopped
Cinnamon stick
1/2 tea spoon of Nutmeg powder
Ginger (depends on your personal paste but for me a good piece of clean pealed)
1 Lt of chicken stock
2 dl of cream

Slice the onion and place it in a pan together with the butter.
Let it cook slightly (not brown) and add the potato, the celery and the apples. Once these become soft, add the pumpkin, the cinnamon stick, the ginger and the stock.
Let it cook for 30minutes, remove the ginger stick and blend until you get a rich pure.
Add the nutmeg and the cream a let it cook again for 15 minutes.
