Beef and pumpkin soup
Description
The soup is simple and quick to prepare. This beef and pumpkin soup recipe is my own invention. I love the combination of these two ingredients, and using them I've created this simple soup. The meat turns out very tender and juicy, while the pumpkin adds a unique aroma and flavor. And if you use good spices and plenty of fresh herbs, the result will be absolutely delicious. I highly recommend you try making this beef and pumpkin soup—you won't regret it. Your whole family will love it. The best part is that it's very easy to prepare: 1. Rinse the beef and cut it into cubes about 3 by 3 cm. Season with salt and pepper, then sauté in a saucepan with butter until a light crust forms. 2. While the meat is frying, cut the pumpkin into small cubes. Once the meat is browned on all sides, add the pumpkin to the pot and sauté for one minute, stirring constantly. 3. Pour water over the mixture. Adjust the amount according to your preference—more water for a thinner soup, less for a thicker consistency. 4. Add salt, pepper, and a little lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 1 hour. 5. After an hour, stir in fresh herbs. By this time, the meat should be fully cooked. Taste and adjust seasoning—if it's delicious, turn off the heat and serve. If not, add more spices, cook for a couple more minutes, then turn off and serve. Serve with fresh herbs and a dollop of sour cream.
