Pumpkin soup with chipotle

Why:

As the cold sets in, I feast on pumpkin soup with the smoke and heat provided by chipotle. Pumpkin is underrated and not used enough. This soup, named la Fantasía Misteriosa, has a pleasant texture and rounded flavour, but it needs a few fellow flavours to come into its own. The addition of a little Texan flavour makes it magical, making it an easy and tasty vegetable meal.

How:

The soup is quite a spicy affair, so add a dollop of sour cream to balance it out. An excellent addition to enhance the hacienda vibe is a fruity and strong tequila cocktail. My favourite is the Mescal Tonic, which is created by mixing mescal, bourbon, apple and ginger.

Where:

The recipe for the chipotle-flavoured pumpkin soup is available in the book Juiceverket, and it is extremely easy to mix together in a blender. The Mescal Tonic is served at the Vita Kaninens Drinksällskap cocktail bar.

As told by Andreas Wilson, actor and founder of juice bar Juiceverket. His new book Juiceverket, is co-written with colleagues Sebastian Berggren, Claes Häggström and Niklas Junker and is available from publishing house Norstedts. Wilson is currently working on rolling out the new fitness concept Slussen Fightbox.
