I am a big fan of sweet pumpkin soup as I don't care much for squash alone. I usually take the route of sweetening things up with maple syrup or caramelized onions but I thought that I'd try something more savoury this time instead and was impressed.
Contents
Ingredients
- 1 1/2-2 small pumpkins (you'll want about 3 cups worth of usable substance)
 - 1-2 lbs mussels (1lb per person is the general rule)
 - 750ml dry white wine (I used Chablis, but if I do this again I'll use a dry table wine instead)
 - 1 cup water
 - 1 shallot
 - 6 tbsp. butter
 - 1 tbsp. curry powder (optional)
 - Salt & pepper
 - 2 tbsp. fresh parsley (optional garnish)
 
Method
Start by cleaning mussels in a sieve. Rinse and remove any 'beards' you see.
