Directions

  1. Dice the pumpkin. Melt the finely chopped onions in the fat, add the paprika, and briefly brown it without burning.
  2. Deglaze with a splash of vinegar, then add the pumpkin and peeled, chopped carrots, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the tomatoes, potatoes, and broth, and cook until the pumpkin is tender.
  4. Mix well and strain through a chinois. ≈ 4 min
  5. Whisk the sour cream with the flour and add it to the boiling soup: the flour prevents it from curdling. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Roast the pumpkin seeds until they are dry, then add them to the soup along with the pumpkin seed oil.
