Creamy pumpkin soup with apple Gala
Delicious and healthy creamy soup made from pumpkin and juicy apple Gala. A step-by-step recipe for a warming autumn cream soup in 35 minutes. Ideal for a light lunch or dinner.
Description, taste and role of the variety
Cream of pumpkin soup is a warm, seasonal dish with a soft, velvety texture.
The soup has juicy pulp and natural sweetness without any harsh sourness. When cooking, Gala partially dissolves in the base, making the taste more voluminous and balanced.
Pumpkin is responsible for the density of the texture, and Gala is responsible for the softness and freshness of the taste. As a result, the soup is creamy, soft, with a neat hint of fruit in the aftertaste.
Benefit and balance
The soup does not require the addition of sugar - the sweetness is created by vegetables and apples.
