Throughout the years, I've tried this dish several times in different restaurants. It has always been delicious and I've always wanted to prepare it at home. Serving soup in a bread pots is a perfect way to indulge yourself after winter outdoor activities. And the best part - once you're finished with the meal, there are no dishes to wash;)
Traditionally, the Bulgarian Christmas Eve table weighs down under the abundance of food the earth has presented us with – fruits and vegetables, nuts and beans, honey and wine. The center of the festive dinner is the ritual bread, decorated with pastry fruits, flowers and ears of wheat – symbol of fertility. Inside the bread is hidden a fortune coin – symbol of prosperity.
It's a perfect autumn day; outside, the wind is tossing the raindrops back and forth, forth and back; inside, roasted pumpkin and cinnamon flavor is coming out of my oven...I am baking pumpkin strudel /Tikvenik/.
When it comes to making pumpkin soup, only the sky is the limit. And surely, the best pumpkin soup is the one you put your heart and soul into making. This recipe is simple, simple, simple.... yet genuinely delicious.
The end of the summer is the perfect time for tomato recipes. There are naturally ripe, fresh tomatoes on the market, filled with the sweetness of the sun – taste that cannot be achieved in any other way. To make this soup, select super-ripe tomatoes. They may seem squishy, but will taste great in the soup.
