Method

  • If using fresh scallops, start by opening and cleaning the shells. For frozen scallops, place them in a bowl, let them thaw in the refrigerator, and drain on paper towels.
  • Cut off the top of the pumpkin and hollow out the flesh. Cut it into cubes.
  • Finely chop the onion and garlic, and sauté in butter in a saucepan.
  • Add pumpkin, milk, and chicken stock.
  • Let the soup simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Stir in half of the crème fraîche.
  • Season with chili paste, lime juice, and salt, and bring the soup to a boil.
  • Blend the soup until smooth and creamy using a food processor or immersion blender.
  • Strain the soup and return it to the saucepan.
  • Sear the scallops until golden in butter, about 30 seconds per side, then add to the soup.
  • Serve the soup with the remaining crème fraîche and bread on the side.
