  3. 3

    Then deglaze with wine and simmer for about 2 minutes. Add the stock. Cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Roast pumpkin seeds in a small pan without fat, take out. Take 4 teaspoons of crème fraîche aside, add the rest of the crème fraîche to the soup.

  4. 4

    Puree the soup and season to taste again. Pour soup into the hollowed-out pumpkins and garnish with crème fraîche, pumpkin seeds and pumpkin oil.
