2. Once the pumpkin has softened, start pouring in the vegetable broth gradually.
3. When the pumpkin is tender enough, blend it with an immersion blender , finally add salt and pepper to taste.
4. When the time comes to serve the soup, grate fresh ginger on each plate and place a piece of DOP gorgonzola on the plate, literally letting it sink into the soup and creating a real heart of gorgonzola .
5. Your pumpkin cream with DOP gorgonzola and ginger is ready to taste. Enjoy your meal!
