Pumpkin Roquefort cheese soup

Introduction

The story of this soup is related to the soda siphon. Yes, yes, with this very siphon for fizzing water, which can be found in every professional kitchen. I was lucky to visit a very a famous chief, who, showing how the siphon works, prepared a delicious green pea mint soup and served it with a layer of Brie cheese foam on top. The siphon was used to make the foam. That's when the idea to cook pumpkin soup with Roquefort cheese foam came to me; by the way, I am a big fan of salty and sweet combination. I do not have a siphon, but I will tell you how to make the foam, using means available in every kitchen.

Pumpkin Roquefort cheese soup

  • 500 g pumpkin
  • 1 small potato (100 - 120g)

Thoughts and Ideas

The recipe is quite arbitrary, so the ingredients, as well as their amount can be changed basing on your personal taste. As for the foam, I would like to add that, if you have an electric coffee machine for making cappuccino, then you can use it to make the cheese foam.
