This pumpkin soup with chestnut cream and Parma ham is a true gastronomic symphony.

Originating from American cuisine, this soup incorporates European traditions through the use of chestnuts and Parma ham. It is suitable for both cozy family dinners and exquisite restaurant presentations. The creamy consistency, rich aromas, and refined notes of white wine and turmeric make it a truly autumnal dish that warms on cool evenings. Garnished with spinach and fresh parsley, the soup delights not only in taste but also in its aesthetic appearance.
