JESENSKA JUHA

Sastojci:

1 muškatna tikva, oguljena i narezana na kockice
4 – 5 krumpira, oguljenih i narezanih na kockice
1 glavica luka, sitno nasjeckana
1 češanj češnjaka, sitno nasjeckan
1 konzerva kuhanih zrna kukuruza
2 l povrtnog temeljca
½ žličice curry praha
1 žličica crvene paprike
1 dl slatkog vrhnja
1 žlica škrobnog brašna – po želji
sol i papar
1 žlica ulja

Priprema:

Na ulju omekšajte luk. Dodajte tikvu i krumpir, posolite i lagano pirjajte 10-ak minuta. Povremeno, po potrebi, podlijte s malo vode.
Dodajte češnjak, curry i papriku. Promiješajte.
Dodajte kukuruzu, a zatim povrće zalijte temeljcem. Kuhajte još 10 – 15 minuta, dok tikva i krumpir ne omekšaju.
Posolite i popaprite po ukusu.
Na kraju u juhu umiješajte slatko vrhnje u koje ćete – ako je juha prerijetka – prije dodavanja umiješati žlicu brašna.
Kuhajte još minutu-dvije.
Poslužite uz bruschette ili krutone od jučerašnjeg kruha.
