Pumpkin Seed Oil Squash Soup Finish

The classic Austrian way to use pumpkin seed oil — a finishing swirl, never a cooking oil.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 batch pumpkin or squash soup
• 1–2 tsp Balsam Pumpkin Seed Oil per bowl
• Toasted pumpkin seeds, for garnish

METHOD

1. Ladle the soup into bowls.
2. Drizzle a small swirl of pumpkin seed oil over each.
3. Top with toasted pumpkin seeds.

This is the classic Austrian way to use pumpkin seed oil (Kürbiskernöl) — always as a finishing drizzle, never for cooking, since heat destroys its flavor and deep green color.
