Brothy Pumpkin Soup With Pancetta And Cabbage Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Arrange the squash on a baking sheet and spray with the cooking spray to lightly coat; season with salt, pepper and a little nutmeg. Roast to tender and brown at the edges. Place the saffron in the chicken stock in a medium pot and add the cabbage. Bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the cabbage to very tender, about 20 minutes. Melt the butter in small pan over medium heat, add the sage and fry the leaves to crisp. Remove to a towel, and then crumble the leaves. Lightly brown the butter. Boil the pasta in salted water to al dente, reserve 1/2 cup starchy water, then drain. Toss the pasta with the starchy water, squash, cabbage and stock, browned butter, crumbled sage and cheese. Toss for 2 minutes to absorb the sauce, then place in casserole and cool. Store for a make-ahead meal. To reheat, bake at 375 degrees F, loosely covered with foil. Then top with a little cheese, and broil to crisp up the edges.

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to paper towels and reserve for the grilled cheese. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the drippings from the pot.
• Add the kimchi and onion to the pot. Cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the gochujang and brown sugar and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are coated and the bottom of the pot is starting to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the soup is slightly reduced and thickened, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove 1 1/2 cups soup from the pot and transfer to a blender; puree until smooth. Return to the pot and stir to combine. Add more gochujang if desired, 1/2 teaspoon at a time.
• Divide the soup among bowls. Top with sliced scallions.

Steps:

• Cook and stir pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add onion, garlic, salt, and black pepper; cook until onions become translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Cook and stir cabbage with pancetta mixture until slightly softened, 5 minutes. Add soy sauce and hot pepper sauce; cook until cabbage is tender, about 10 more minutes.

Steps:

• Cook pancetta in olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-heat until crispy, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Add onion and celery to the pan drippings and saute until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and bay leaves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, stirring constantly to keep the garlic from burning. Add chicken stock, pumpkin puree, apple cider vinegar, and thyme sprigs; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 to 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours). Remove and discard thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Puree soup with an immersion blender until smooth or blend in batches in a blender.
• Add five-spice, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Whisk in cream and serve immediately.
