The soup can be topped with a variety of things: I love Parmigiano-Reggiano and rosemary, but savory sprinkles like chopped smoked almonds or toasted pecans would be lovely. This tastes even better the next day...or the day after. Ingredients:
3 cups chopped peeled fresh pumpkin |
2 1/2 cups chopped red bell pepper |
1 1/2 cups chopped peeled sweet potato |
1/4 cup chopped green onions |
1 teaspoon five-spice powder |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic |
3/8 teaspoon salt, divided |
5 cups no-salt-added chicken stock (such as swanson) |
1 tablespoon unsalted butter |
1 tablespoon rosemary leaves (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Combine first 8 ingredients in a large bowl. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt; toss well. Place vegetable mixture in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan. Bake at 400° for 30 minutes or until tender, stirring once.
3. Combine vegetables, stock, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes. Place half of vegetable mixture in a blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Process until smooth. Pour into a large bowl. Repeat procedure with remaining vegetable mixture. Stir in butter. Top with rosemary, if desired.
