Pumpkin Soup with Cinnamon Foam
Ingredients (1 serving):
For the soup:
• 1 small pumpkin (peeled and chopped)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ginger (optional)
• 1-2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
For the cinnamon foam:
• 100 ml heavy cream
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp sugar
Instructions:
1. Roasting the Pumpkin: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Cut the pumpkin into cubes and toss with olive oil. Place the pumpkin on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for about 40-50 minutes, until the pumpkin is soft and easily pierced with a fork. Let the pumpkin cool.
2. Preparing the Soup: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for about 5
minutes, until softened and translucent. If desired, add chopped celery or carrot and cook for an additional minute.
3. Making the Soup: Add the roasted pumpkin, vegetable broth, and chosen spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger) to the pot. Raise the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Afterward, let the soup cool and then blend it.
4. Blending the Soup: Use a blender (in small batches if necessary) to make the soup smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, add more broth until you reach the desired consistency. Taste and adjust with salt, pepper, and, if needed, a squeeze of lemon juice.
5. Making the Cinnamon Foam: Pour the heavy cream into a siphon bottle and add the cinnamon and sugar. Charge the bottle with a nitrous oxide charger and shake well.
6. Serving: Pour the hot soup into a bowl. Add a generous portion of cinnamon foam on top of each serving. Optionally, garnish with additional cinnamon or roasted pumpkin seeds.
Tip: The cinnamon foam adds extra flavor and a luxurious texture to the warm soup. For an even creamier soup, feel free to add a little more cream. The combination of roasted pumpkin and spices creates the perfect balance of sweetness and warming spice.
Pea Soup with Minted Cream
Ingredients (2 servings):
For the soup:
• 400 g fresh peas (frozen peas can also be used if fresh is not
available)
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, chopped
• 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
• 1 potato, peeled and diced (adds a creamy texture to the soup)
• 1 tbsp olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste
For the salted mint cream:
• 100 ml heavy cream
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1-2 tsp fresh mint leaves (chopped) or mint syrup if fresh is unavailable
Instructions:
1. Making the Soup: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until soft and translucent. Add the diced potato and fresh peas. Stir well to combine. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes and peas are tender. Once the ingredients are soft, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly.
2. Blending the Soup: Once the soup has cooled down a bit, use an immersion blender or regular blender to puree it until smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, add more broth or water until you reach the desired consistency. Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
3. Making the Minted Cream: Pour the heavy cream into a siphon bottle. Add the sea salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and chopped mint leaves. If using mint syrup, add about 1 tsp. Close the bottle and charge it with a nitrous oxide charger. Shake the siphon bottle well until the cream blends into a light, airy foam.
4. Serving: Pour the hot soup into bowls. Spoon a generous portion of the salted minted cream foam on top of each serving. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or roasted seeds if desired.
Tip: The mint adds a refreshing and mild flavor to the salted cream, perfectly complementing the pea soup’s taste profile. The nitrous oxide foam creates an airy and luxurious topping, making each spoonful a true culinary experience!

lemon flavor, which balances the richness of the fish and broth. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley, if desired.
