Roasted Pumpkin And Sage Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the pumpkin cut side up on a parchment lined baking sheet. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Invert to the cut side down, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Place in the oven and roast until the skin is golden brown and the pumpkin is tender, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Once cool enough to handle, use a spoon to scoop the pumpkin flesh from its skin and set pumpkin aside until ready to use. Discard the skin.
• Set a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and, when hot, add the cinnamon and allspice and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the onions, carrots, celery, ginger and garlic to the pan and saute, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken stock and reserved pumpkin to the pan and bring the stock to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook the soup for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft.
• Remove the soup from the heat and process with an immersion blender (*or in batches in a blender) until smooth. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pinch of pepper. Add the cream to the soup and stir to combine.
• To serve, place 1 cup of the soup in each of 6 warmed soup bowls. Drizzle 2 teaspoons of the pumpkin seed oil in the bowl and garnish with a 2 or 3 fried sage leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Divide pumpkin, shallots, oil, and sage between two large rimmed baking sheets; season with salt and pepper, and toss.
• Roast until pumpkin is tender, 30 to 35 minutes, tossing once and rotating sheets halfway through.

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:

• Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a separate bowl.
• Melt butter in the same pot. Cook onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add water, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, sage, and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until flavors combine, about 20 minutes.
• Return the cooked sausage to the pot. Pour in milk and bring soup to a gentle simmer. Taste and adjust salt as needed.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 450ºF and set to "roast" if your oven makes the distinction. 2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment. 3. Cut the pumpkin into wedges and use a sharp knife to remove the pulp and seeds. 4. Drizzle olive oil on the pumpkin and carrot flesh, generously season with salt and pepper. Place them on the cookie sheet and roast for 40 minutes or until the flesh of the vegetables is soft and pliant. The tip of a small knife should go in easily. 5. Remove the pumpkin flesh from the tough outer skin and roughly chop into pieces. Set aside with the carrots. 6. Heat about 2 Tbl. olive oil in a heavy bottomed Dutch oven. Sauté the onions over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the onions when they become translucent. Reduce heat and cover the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the onions to slowly caramelize. 7. Add ginger and spices and cook through for 2 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the heavy cream, bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 35 minutes. 8. Remove the bay leaves and cinnamon sticks. Add the heavy cream or coconut milk, then proess the soup in batches in a blender or food processor until thoroughly combined and velvety smooth. 9. Serve the soup in warmed bowls, drizzle with the sage oil. Finish the toasted sesame seeds and crushed cashew nuts. Piryatnogo Appetita!
