Ingredients

Procedure

  • 0. Start by washing the leeks thoroughly and cutting them into thin rounds. Then, move on to the pumpkin: if you used the classic Halloween pumpkin, you'll have already removed the peel and seeds, so just dice the flesh. Peel the potatoes and cut them into small pieces. The potatoes will add a velvety texture to the dish, making it even creamier.
  • 1. In a large saucepan, heat two tablespoons of oil and add the leeks, sautéing them gently for a few minutes. You'll immediately notice a delicate, sweet aroma. Once the leeks are tender, add the pumpkin cubes and potatoes. Toss everything together to combine the flavors.
  • 2. Pour in the vegetable broth until it covers the vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 25-30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  • 3. Once the vegetables are cooked, turn off the heat and blend everything with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy. If you like a thinner consistency, you can add a little broth or hot water. Season with salt and pepper, and if you like, add a sprinkle of nutmeg for a hint of flavor.
  • 4. Pour the soup into bowls and, to finish, grate a little ricotta salata on top. This contrast between the sweetness of the pumpkin and the bold flavor of the ricotta salata will make all the difference!
