GIVING BACK | A REAL FAMILY AFFAIR | AUTUMN HAUL & A PUMPKIN SOUP FOR THE SOUL

Hello My Angels,
I hope you are well. I am so sorry this Vlog is a day late, but I hope it will be the perfect pick-me-up for a Thursday evening. Today, I take you with me to a Charity Clay Shoot Day in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital. It such an important day for my family, but also for the charity as we raise money for very sick children in need of extensive medical care.
Then, join me for a cozy Sunday at home as I try on some new Holland Cooper items and whip up the most gorgeous Pumpkin, White Truffle and Sage Soup.
If you enjoy this Vlog, please do let me know in the comments and don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss a thing!
All my love,
Leonora
PUMPKIN, WHITE TRUFFLE AND SAGE SOUP RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
½ a large pumpkin or 2 small pumpkins
Salt
Cracked Pepper
2 tbsp Olive Oil
White Truffle Infused Oil
30g Butter
1 Onion
2 Shallots
500ml Chicken Stock
Double Cream
Sage Leaves
METHOD
Pre-heat your oven to 170 degrees.
Chop your pumpkin in half, scoop out the inside, slice and then cube. Save the pumpkin seeds to roast if you like (see recipe below).
Pop them on a baking tray and cover in olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper - be generous!
Roast your pumpkin cubes for 40-50minutes. Eye ball this as they need to be golden brown.
Chop your shallots and onions.
Drizzle some olive oil into a non-stick frying pan and heat over a medium flame.
Add your shallots and onions, and sweat down until translucent.
Add the butter into the onion mixture and mix while on a low heat.
Then add in the pumpkin from the oven.
Then add the chicken stock and allow to bubble away on a low-medium heat.
Fry off your sage with olive oil in a non-stick frying pan.
Take your pumpkin mix off the heat and mix in approx. 200ml of double cream.
Blend together until smooth.
Pop into a bowl and top with your crispy pumpkin seeds and crispy sage leaves.
ROASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS
Rinse off and de-string your pumpkin seeds.
Pat dry and spread in a single layer on a baking tray.
Drizzle with olive oil and pop in the oven until crisp.
Its all about the presentation so find your favourite bowl, place a ladle or two of the heavenly pumpkin soup mixture, sprinkle the pumpkin seeds, place the sage leaf and drizzle a small amount of truffle oil over the top.
Enjoy! xxx
