Roasted Pumpkin Soup with Pumpkin Seeds & Goat Cheese

November 9, 2014 · by Carrie Trax ·

Roasted Pumpkin Soup

With Thanksgiving  approaching soon  I wanted to start planning my meal.  With the newest addition to my kitchen the Ninja Blender and attachments I wanted to see if I could use it with every recipe I will be making for the Thanksgiving table.  So the challenge begins and the first thing we will start my Thanksgiving meal off with is a “Roasted Pumpkin Soup”…

Roasted Pumpkin Soup
3 pounds sugar pumpkin, seeded
and peeledRoasted pumpkins, onions and mushrooms
1 onion, peeled and quartered
2 shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, cleaned
1 garlic clove, peeled
1/2 cup olive oil
2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup roasted pumpkin seeds*
1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese with dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut pumpkin into 2-inch pieces. Combine pumpkin, onion, mushrooms, and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet.  Addroasted pumpkins, onions and mushrooms in a Ninja Blender oil, salt and pepper; toss to coat, then spread in a single layer. Roast until pumpkin is tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, about 30 minutes, rotating pan and tossing vegetables halfway through. Let cool.

Transfer vegetables to the Ninja blender and pour in 2 cups stock; push the Auto-iQ Food Puree button. Just sit back for a minute and wait.  The soup has been pureed perfectly.  Add soup to a pot with remaining 2 cups of stock. Bring soup just to a simmer and add the heavy cream. Continue simmering until heated.  Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve in a bowl and top with toasted pumpkin seeds and goat cheese.  Great recipe you can make 1 or 2 days before Thanksgiving!

*I used the pumpkin seeds from the pumpkin I used to make the soup.  Here is a recipe for Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Here is another recipe for the great products I received at the 2014 IFBC in Seattle this year.  The Krusteaz Flatbread mix makes an awesome dough for pizza.  The flavors of the Italian Herb in the mix adds that extra layer of flavor to this pizza.   Let’s not forget the sauce of this pizza is […]
