Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Any favorites for the holidays? Here's one of mine - a yummy "warm-up" for Thanksgiving dinner! I have to limit folks to one small bowl, or they'll tank up and not have room for turkey. PUMPKIN SOUP Ingredients 6 cups chicken stock 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (I sometimes fergot the salt… ) 4 cups pumpkin puree (cooked pumpkin. Baked, steamed, nuked ~ it’s all good) 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley 1 cup chopped onion 1 chopped shallot 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme 1+ clove garlic, minced (I think I used about the equivalent of 2 and a bit more…) 5 whole black peppercorns 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (Oops… I used a bit over a cup – Darn! And Yum!!) Directions Heat stock, salt, pumpkin, onion, shallot, thyme, garlic, and peppercorns. Oh heck… put it all in the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes uncovered. Puree the soup in small batches (1 cup at a time) using a food processor or blender. Or do like I did and do it all in the pot using an immersion blender – MUCH easier!! Bring to a boil again. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for another 30 minutes, uncovered. Stir in heavy cream. Pour into soup bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. (I sometimes don’t bother with the foliage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
