Directions:Heat a medium to large soup pot over medium high heat. Add the oil and melt the butter. Add bay, celery, and onion. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 6-7 minutes until tender. Add flour, poultry seasoning and hot sauce; then cook flour a minute. Whisk in chicken stock and bring liquid to a bubble. Whisk in pumpkin in large spoonfuls to incorporate it into the broth. Simmer soup for 10 minutes to thicken a bit and then add in cream and nutmeg.
While the soup cooks, assemble the relish: combine apple, onion, lemon juice, cranberries, chili powder, honey and cinnamon. Serve soup in shallow bowls with a few spoonfuls of relish. |
