Having tried once a real fragrant pumpkin soup with chicken, you remain not just a lover, but a fan of this dish (you can’t say otherwise). Ingredients don't really matter, what matters is how the pumpkin is prepared.

Cooking pumpkin

Nobody has come up with anything better than bringing this vegetable to the state of "ambrosia" in the oven (in modern conditions in the oven). A Russian stove with a simple way of cooking all dishes immediately after the firewood burns out makes it possible to reveal vegetables and fruits to the fullest extent: practically not boiling, but stewing at high temperatures, when the heat source is not from below, but from the side, but the heat comes from everywhere.

An analogue (though not fully) is the oven.

• Cut the pumpkin into large pieces (without peeling).
• Place them in a deep saucepan (suitable ducklings or ceramic dishes).
• Pouring a little water to the bottom, cover with a loose lid (so that steam can escape).
• Put in the oven.

You can kindle a fire in advance, you can immediately. The temperature regime must be maintained in average values. When warming up - as much as possible, then reduce.

In half an hourthe aroma of pumpkin (it cannot be confused with anything) will fill not only the kitchen, but the whole house or apartment. At this point, you can see the stage of readiness of the pumpkin. If the pieces are still hard (do not easily separate from the skin), you need to continue stewing.

The finished vegetable (only this will make it possible to cook pumpkin soup with chicken) has a soft, but still quite juicy texture. For the first course, it is undesirable to overdry the pieces, so it is better to take them out of the oven, even if they have not yet been completely extinguished, and leave them in a covered pan at room temperature.

Separating the pulp from the skin, we get the basis for pumpkin puree soup with chicken, beef, pork, cream, beans, etc. The variety of dishes from a properly cooked vegetable can be endless, giving room for culinary fantasies.

Pumpkin Puree Soup: Chicken Recipe

While the pumpkin is stewing, you need to cook the chicken by boiling it in a regular saucepan, not bringing it to full cooking (the flesh should not easily separate from the bones). For soup, it is advisable to take wings or chicken legs, the breast does not give richness in the broth - it can be recommended for a very light (dietary) soup.

• In a deep frying pan (saute pan) you need to sauté a large onion in butter, cutting it into half rings beforehand.
• Remove the onion into a separate bowl. Stew carrots in onion oil, add chopped parsley root (optional).
• Add tomato puree (or skinless tomatoes), stew.
• Combine onion, pumpkin, carrots with tomatoes in a saucepan, mix.
• To obtain a homogeneous mass, you can use a "potato masher" or a blender (which will give a softer consistency).
• Add chicken with broth to the resulting puree, leaving a fairly thick consistency, put on fire, bring to a boil, reduce heat to a minimum.
• For the next five minutes, flavor the soup with spices: ground black pepper, curry, cut olive. We lower the bay leaf for three minutes (be sure to take it out later so that there is no unwanted aftertaste). S alt to taste.
• Bring back to a boil and turn off, leaving the pot covered.
• Before serving, put the chopped green mixture of parsley, celery, basil (optional) and green onions into portioned plates.

• 2 chicken wings and two legs;
• small (1-1.5 kg) pumpkin;
