pumpkin and basil soup (Sopa de zapallo con albahaca)




I love soups every time. I dont know why but I love all them (Made in home soups)
And is curious because the twins love them too :)
Always I ask : Who want a little soup that I made??
Usually they want:)
If you dont have fresh basil you can use dry basil,  just delicious!!

Me encantan las sopas.

Ademas lo más bien que en verano comemos porotos granados o pastel de choclo.
Esta sopa cremosa de zapallo es deliciosa y va con albahaca.








Ingredientes 

1/4 taza aceite vegetal u oliva
3 cebollas cortadas pluma
1 cucharada de albahaca fresca o seca
3 dientes de ajo picados
2 cucharaditas de jengibre rallado fresco
o 1 jengibre seco
3 o 4 tazas de caldo de vegetales preparado
2 tazas de zapallo cortado en cuadritos y cocido

Preparación

En una olla grande o mediana colocar el aceite y agregar la cebolla pluma a fuego medio más 1/4 cucharadita de sal,freir hasta que esten doradas.
Entonces agregar el ajo,la albahaca y el jengibre.
Cocinar unos 5 minutos revolviendo ocasionalmente.
