Creamy Pumpkin Soup

Creamy Pumpkin soup

Ingredients
small pumpkin
vegetable stock
onion
whipping cream
scallions
salt, pepper
sour cream

  • Slice the pumpkin into 2 inch thick slices. Drizzle with olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees until very soft.
  • Remove hard skin and blend the flesh in a food processor until pureed. (About 2 cups of pumpkin puree should be good.)
  • Put into a soup pot with 1 cup of vegetable stock.
  • Puree ½ of an onion and add to the soup.
  • Add ½ cup of whipping cream (not to be confused with whipped cream!) to give it a creamy texture.
  • Simmer for at least 45 minutes.
  • Add salt, fresh ground peppercorn, and scallions to taste.
  • Should be served piping hot.
  • A dollop of sour cream adds a little extra.

Tips-
If you like thinner soup, add more vegetable stock
If you like thicker soup, add more pumpkin puree.
If it is not creamy enough add more whipping cream.
