This simple Maltese pumpkin dish employs a bit of semolina flour to transform from a basic soup into an ultra comforting porridge. While soppa tal-qara ahmar would typically be served with shaved parmesan and home-baked croutons, we think it would be equity satisfying served as a complement to braised short ribs, roasted meat or even a thick ragù, much in the way you might serve polenta or mashed potatoes.
