The pumpkin cream soup recipe with pumpkin seed oil, dill and bacon is a classic for all friends of Austrian cuisine.
Styria is a wonderful federal state in Austria and has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine and landscape.
You prepare this pumpkin soup with whipped cream (cream), coconut milk has no place here.
The only outlier I allow myself is ginger, which many of my Styrian friends like to add to the soup.
You can find ginger in the ingredient list as an option.
What is special about this traditional pumpkin soup?
Creamy appearance, crispy cubes of black bread, dill, crispy bacon and freshly torn horseradish make this soup a top highlight of Austrian cuisine.
Please try it out and enjoy!
