Delicate Pumpkin Cream Soup for Gourmets by Paul Bocuse

A silky, refined cream soup from the "chef of the century," Paul Bocuse. Despite pumpkin's firmly "Russian" reputation, this gourd is more well-traveled than it seems. Pumpkin actually hails from the Americas — Columbus "discovered" it (along with America) in the 15th century, and it only made its way to Russia in the 16th. It's wonderful for digestion and good for warding off all sorts of ailments; you can roast it, steam it, pickle it, or simply keep it in storage for a long time. This cream soup came into our cookbooks straight from a three-Michelin-star menu. Pumpkin soups had been made long before, of course, but it was Paul Bocuse — chef of the family restaurant Paul Bocuse in Lyon, named "chef of the century" in 1989 — who taught the world to make one this tender and refined. Simple dishes from simple ingredients, with an aristocratic touch: that's Bocuse's signature.
