Directions: |
Directions:To prepare pumpkin: Cut pumpkin in half, clean out and bake with 1" water in a covered pan, at 350ºF for about 1 hour, until fork tender. (I use my Nesco 18 quart roaster). Scoop pumpkin out of shell and measure.
For soup: In a large soup pot, saute leeks, onions, garlic, carrots and celery in the butter for about 5-10 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Turn down to simmer. Add Pumpkin, apples, ginger and sage. Simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring as needed. Now add the cinnamon, allspice salt and pepper, and remove the ginger. Puree in a blender, or with an immersion blender. Serve in warm soup bowls. Top with a dollop of lemon creme frache or sour cream and fresh lemon zest. |

Notes: You can reduce the chicken stock by 2 cups, and add 2 cups of cream, right before pureeing for a creamier soup.
