While this year has been seemingly relentless in the challenges it has presented, I am filled with an immense feeling of gratitude to our customers for helping us weather this storm, one stem at a time. For Thanksgiving, a day when we give thanks to those who make our lives better, I would like to give thanks to all of you for your support. And in honour of one of my favourite holidays, I thought it was a good time to share my tricks on setting the perfect table for a thoughtful Thanksgiving.

PUMPKIN SOUP RECIPE
SHOP THE RIVER CAFE
  • 1kg fresh chestnuts, boiled, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1kg pumpkin flesh, roasted and roughly chopped
  • 150g farro, soaked in cold water for 
  • 100ml olive oil
  • 1 red onion, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 head celery, roughly chopped
  • 150g pancetta affumicata, finely diced
  • 5 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
  • 50g fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 dried chillies, crumbled
  • 1 litre chicken stock
  • Maldon salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Extra virgin olive oil 

Drain the farro, then put in a pan, cover with cold water, and bring to the boil. Cook until the faro expands and is al dente, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a heavy saucepan large enough to hold the soup, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil.

Add the onion and celery, fry gently to soften, then add the pancetta, garlic, chopped rosemary and chilli. Allow this to cook on a low heat until the pancetta and garlic begin to colour, then add the chestnuts. Let them absorb the pancetta flavours, about 5 minutes, then add the pumpkin.

Cook this for a further 5 minutes, then add the warmed Chicken Stock. Finally add the cooked farro. Heat through, check for seasoning, then serve, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.
