Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line one baking sheet with parchment paper. Coat it with 1 tablespoon butter, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon water. Season flesh of pumpkins generously with salt; place cut-side down on sheet. Roast until tender, 30 to 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in pan. Add onions and cook until translucent. Add garlic, turmeric  and nutmeg. Cook and stir frequently, for 2 minutes. Set aside.

When pumpkin is cool enough to handle, using a spoon, scrape flesh from skin into the pan. Stir in stock, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce to a simmer, and cook over low heat for 30 minutes. Blend soup using an immersion blender or in batches in a blender. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the soup with pumpkin seeds and cheese. Enjoy!

  1. There’s nothing more comforting than a hot bowl of soup to warm the soul on a chilly Fall day! Looks tasty.

  2. Lovely! Thanks for stopping by More Time at the Table. I just used a fresh pumpkin for both pumpkin chili and then a pot roast with pumpkin and thyme rather than just potatoes. Maybe it’s my October birthday, but I love pumpkin. Yours is just beautiful.

  3. i never had that particular type of pumpkin. i wonder how differ they are to the regular giant deep orange flesh pumpkin that most people carve for halloween.

  4. Your recipe looks amazing, I really need to try it. Did you put on raw pumpkin seeds or did you toast them before? I really like to put pumpkin seeds in a sauce pan and add just a little oil and then toast them because they become crunchy and delicious and also then possess a sort of rustic flavor.
