There is nothing better than a steaming bowl of soup. The unusual combination of the Persimmon and the butternut creates a delicious creamy sweet soup. To give it a nice kick, I have added some spice!
The Even Flow habanero chilli sauce is from a Cambridge company. David, the owner of Orriss & Son, released his first three small batch sauces in November 2020 intending to add layers of flavour to your food. The Even Flow chilli sauce gives a delicious touch to this creamy Persimmon and butternut soup.
You can make this Persimmon and butternut soup a bit lighter by adding Greek yoghurt or cream if you want to splash out. I recommend roasting the pumpkin first using my curry mix. Building up the flavours creates a beautiful soup. You can serve it in big bowls as a starter or small glasses or bowls as an amuse bouche.
Bon appetit!
