5. Put the mix in a food processor (Vitamix type) and blend starting at low speed and ending at the highest speed until it has a velvet texture.
6. To serve, heat the cream and reserve. Place in each bowl, a piece of baked, tender and roasted pumpkin, a little bit of almond ricotta from our flagship recipe, some toasted pumpkin seeds, a few branches of fresh dill and fresh herbs oil. Once at the table, pour the hot soup in each bowl
This is a very tasty dish when in winter you look for warm and comfort food.
