Pumpkin bread soup (panade of pumpkin)

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 Garlic cloves
1 Green hot pepper or 6 dried Italian pepper pods (?)
4 cups Beef broth
4 slices White bread
2 tablespoons Peanut oil
1¼ cup Minced onion
1 can (16 oz) pupmkin -or-
1 pounds Pared and cubed fresh pumpkin*
¼ pounds Spinach leaves

Directions

As I hiss and gasp through some reheated squash soup with a fresh garden pepper and a chipotle, I read the pumpkin soup thread. Here's something I found in a caribbean cookbook (Adventures in Cooking series, Culinary Arts Institure, Delair Publishing). The book says panades, or bread soups, are eaten by the country people in the morning. As always, let every chile-head use this as a platform for FUN.

Makes about 1-½ quarts.

1. Put garlic and hot pepper into a mortar and pestle and pound to a paste. Set aside.

2. Pour beef broth over bread, set aside.

3. Heat peanut oil in large saucepan; saute onion. Add bread with beef broth, pumpkin, and seasoning paste; mix well. Simmer 10 minutes.

4. Add spinach; bring to boiling, reduce heat, and cook 5 minutes.

*If fresh pumpkin is used, process the soup in an electric blender before adding the spinach.
