Egg Nog Pumpkin Soup
A traditional pumpkin soup is made with a secret ingredient: Egg nog! It sounds crazy but the flavors in egg nog lend themselves perfectly to pumpkin. Whip up this soup with a fresh little sugar pie pumpkin from the grocery store or your garden for a warming autumn supper.
Cut pumpkin into quarters, scoop out the seeds and drizzle with olive oil. Bake at 425 for 35 minutes until the pumpkin flesh is soft.
Cook until the flesh is easily pierced with a fork. Let cool while you work on the other parts of the recipe. Then cut into small pieces and remove the skin.
Add the rest of the olive oil to a large pot and add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook while stirring until the onions start to caramelize. Add the vegetable stock and bring to a boil.
Add the egg nog and then either blend it using an immersion blender Or transfer it to blender and purée it.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Makes
6 servings.
