Categories     soups and stews

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 cups thinly sliced onions
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon sugar
1 3-pound pumpkin
4 cups well-seasoned chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 to 8 slices French or Italian bread, toasted
1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese

Steps:

  • In a heavy saucepan, saute the onions in the butter over medium heat until they are golden. Sprinkle with sugar and continue cooking until they just begin to brown.
  • While the onions are cooking, peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds and stringy core and cut it into half-inch cubes. Steam the pumpkin until it is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Puree the pumpkin with a little of the stock in a blender or food processor. Better results are obtained in a blender.
  • Add the pumpkin puree and the remaining chicken stock to the onions, bring to a simmer and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Just before serving, preheat a broiler. Top each of the toasted bread croutons with some of the cheese. Divide the soup among six ovenproof ramekins, crocks or bowls and float a cheese-topped crouton on each. Place under the broiler just until the cheese melts, then serve.

I'm not usually a fan of pumpkin soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The addition of onion and spices really elevated the flavor. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was the perfect fall meal.
