Directions
Fresh Pumpkin Soup by Kerry Simon,One of my favorite “star” chef’s, this sounds divine. Found it on Food Network. Prep time does not include time to roast the pumpkin,The recipe as it is written lacked something that would make it stand out. I substituted coconut oil for the butter and coconut milk for the cream. Further added a bit of nutmeg, fresh ground allspice and a dash of cinnamon. Added about 2 tablespoons of honey to take away some of the onion flavor (was a bit strong). A pinch of cayenne pepper gave it just enough kick. Lastly I add about 2 tablespoons of agave necter. Just a bit of each spice so it doesn’t taste like pie filling. I froze 1/2 in a canning jar to eat is a few weeks. It was a great starter recipe that has all kinds of possibilities. Example: change the spice to some parsley, rosemary and blend in some sun dried tomatoes and serve with warm rolls or garlic bread. As a final note I also doubled the pumpkin. When I cook I like to have enough to freeze. Thanks for sharing your recipe.,This recipe was not what I had expected. I ended having to add tons of spice to make it taste like anything. I would suggest to add a hint of clove, nutmeg, tiny amount of thyme, salt / pepper, pure maple syrup, more sage and if you have it ‘ allspice. Pumpkin take on flavors and just cooking with onion and apples is super bland and bitter. try a little spice and it will just be better overall.
