Roast Pumpkin Soup Recipe
4 cloves garlic
1kg peeled and chopped pumpkin
2 teaspoons oil
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper
4 1/2 cups (1.125 litres) vegetable stock, or mixture of vegetable stock and water*
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place pumpkin and unpeeled garlic cloves in a baking dish and toss with 1 teaspoon oil. Bake for approximately 25 minutes.
Heat remaining oil in large saucepan and add onion, nutmeg, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook for about 1 minute. Add pumpkin and stock/water and simmer until vegetables are soft (about 20 minutes). Remove from heat and add peeled roasted garlic cloves.
Puree in batches in blender or food processor until smooth. Reheat before serving and top with a dollop of cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg. This soup freezes well.
*We used 2 1/4 cups Campbell's liquid vegetable stock and 2¼ cups water.

Pumpkin soup is a hearty addition to any autumn meal, and an especially nice first course for Thanksgiving dinner. It's also low-fat. Yields about 8 cups.
Things You'll Need
1 small pumpkin
1/2 lb. peeled and chopped turnips
1/2 c. heavy cream
6 tbsp. butter
1 large parsnip
salt
1 med. onion
6 c. reduced-sodium chicken broth
pepper
Instructions
STEP 1: Cut the pumpkin in half. Scoop out and discard the fiber and seeds. STEP 2: Cut the pumpkin into large pieces. STEP 3: Peel the pumpkin pieces with a vegetable peeler, and trim any remaining fiber so that all you have left is pumpkin flesh. STEP 4: Cut the flesh into 1-inch pieces. STEP 5: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute, stirring often, until softened. STEP 6: Add pumpkin, turnips, parsnip and chicken broth to saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. STEP 7: Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer one hour. STEP 8: Remove soup from heat and cool about 15 minutes. STEP 9: Strain the vegetables from the soup and put in a food processor fitted with a metal chopping blade. Add 1 1/2 c. broth and process until smooth. STEP 10: Add the rest of the broth and process again. (If your food processor isn't big enough, do this in batches.) STEP 11: Rinse the saucepan and put the pureed soup in it. Stir in the cream and cook over medium heat, stirring, until heated through. STEP 12: Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve. Tips & Warnings
You can also puree the soup in a blender.
Jack-o'-lantern pumpkins usually don't taste the best. Try to get an eating, or pie pumpkin, such as the Sugar Pie variety.
