The Rouge Vif D’etempes pumpkin will make a stunning fall display—and then you can eat it! This soup is savoury and comforting on cold autumn days.
Ingredients
6 cups chicken stock
1 ½ tsp. salt
4 cups pumpkin puree (prepare by baking the deseeded pumpkin in the oven as you would cook squash; I recommend using the Rouge Vif D’etampes as this the standard for French soup stocks)
1 tsp. chopped fresh parsley
1 cup chopped onion
½ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 clove garlic minced
½ cup heavy whipping cream
5 black peppercorns
Directions
In a large saucepan, heat stock, salt, pumpkin puree, onion, thyme, garlic and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes uncovered. Purée the soup in small batches (1 cup at a time) using a food processor or blender. Return purée to pan and bring to a boil again. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes uncovered. Stir in heavy cream. Pour into soup bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.
