Holiday Pumpkin Soup

Now that the Holidays are around the corner and a great family time for all of us. Here is a small recipe for Pumpkin Soup that you can make at home…

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 small fresh pumpkin seeds removed and divided (save seeds)
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1/8 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

• 

  Preheat oven to 350. Place the divided pumpkin in a pan, bake for 35-40 minutes or until soft pulp can be removed by a fork.

• Place the seeds in a separate pan with oil and salt. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the seeds are toasted.
• Add the pumpkin pulp to a pot with a little butter and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and cook until pumpkin is tender.
• Add spices and honey to the soup. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Add the cream to finish and boil for 5 minutes more.
• Serve sprinkled with roasted seeds.

Tips:

You can also add turkey, chicken pieces or seafood to the soup to give a different consistency.

¡Buen provecho!
