Roasted Pecan Pumpkin Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place pumpkin, carrots and onions in a baking dish or roasting pan. Drizzle with vegetable oil.
• Bake in preheated oven 40 minutes, until soft but not blackened.
• In a large pot over medium heat, bring water and bouillon to a boil. Cook potato in simmering water until soft, about 20 minutes.
• Combine potato and water with roasted vegetables and puree in a blender or food processor or using an immersion blender until smooth. Return to pot over low heat, and stir in cream, nutmeg, pepper and salt. Heat gently; serve.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small soup pot over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until the onion is tender and translucent, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Add the chicken broth and pumpkin puree and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes. Put the puree in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the nutmeg and salt to taste; stir in the cream. Serve hot or chilled, topped with more cream and toasted pecans.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut pumpkin into 2-inch pieces. Combine pumpkin, onion, mushrooms, and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet. Add oil and 2 teaspoons salt; toss to coat, then spread in a single layer. Roast until pumpkin is tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, about 30 minutes, rotating pan and tossing vegetables halfway through. Let cool, then remove skins.
• Transfer vegetables to a medium saucepan; heat over medium. Pour in 2 cups stock; puree with an immersion blender until smooth. With the blender running, slowly add remaining 3 cups stock, and puree until smooth. Bring soup just to a simmer. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.

Steps:

• In the work bowl of your food processor, fitted with metal blade, process onion, pecans and garlic until ingredients are finely chopped.
• Transfer mixture to a large saucepan over medium heat.
• Saute with butter until onions are opaque and pecans are light brown -- 5 to 8 minutes.
• Add chicken stock, pumpkin puree, salt, thyme, nutmeg and white pepper.
• Bring to a simmer.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes.
• Stir in cream.
• Pour into pre-heated soup bowls.
• Garnish with parsley sprigs.
• Enjoy!
