Your autumn, your memories

The leaves are falling, it's time to bring out the sweaters again, and let's be honest: is there anything better than lounging on the couch all afternoon without feeling guilty? Autumn is back! The season of cozy evenings, endless cups of tea and enjoying staying indoors.

Time to put on those hiking boots for a fresh forest walk (hello, crunching leaves!), to then warm up with a large mug of hot chocolate and a big piece of apple pie. Or how about a board game night with friends, a marathon of your favorite series or just chatting for hours by the fireplace?

At YourSurprise, we love this season. Because just when it gets a bit cooler outside, we make it really cozy inside. Whether you want to create your own favorite photo mug for all those hot drinks, design a soft blanket to snuggle under, or just want to surprise someone with a sweet gesture: we ensure that warm smile on your face.

A delicious recipe you can't miss: creamy pumpkin-carrot soup with sage and croutons

This classic autumn soup is on the table within 25 minutes, is wonderfully creamy and requires almost no cutting if you use pre-cut pumpkin cubes. What do you need for 2 portions?

1. 400 grams of pumpkin cubes (butternut squash)
2. 200 grams of carrot
3. 1 chopped onion
4. 2 tenen knoflook
5. 750 ml vegetable broth
6. 100 ml cooking cream or coconut milk
7. 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter
8. Pepper, salt and nutmeg to taste

On to the preparation method:

1. Sauté: heat the oil in a soup pot and sauté the onion and garlic for 2 minutes over medium heat until soft.
2. Cooking: add the pumpkin cubes and carrot slices. Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil and let simmer for 15 minutes until the vegetables are butter-soft.
3. Puree: remove the pot from the heat and puree the soup until smooth with an immersion blender.
4. Finishing: stir in the cooking cream and season with a pinch of nutmeg, pepper and salt.

Serve immediately in a large bowl with some extra cream and crusty bread.

Enjoy your meal!
