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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

2 large butternut squash
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 dried chillies
A few glugs olive oil
10 slices pancetta, cut into 1/2-inch (1 centimetre) pieces

  • Heat a little oil in a large pan and fry the pancetta with half the sage leaves. Add the chestnuts and the onion and fry gently for about 15 minutes. By this time the squash will be ready, so spoon it out into the pan, leaving the skin behind. Cover with the stock and bring to the boil. Remove half the mixture and blend until smooth, then pour back into the pan.
  • Take the rest of the sage leaves and the reserved squash seeds and fry them in a little oil until crisp. To serve, spoon a little sour cream on top of the soup, sprinkle with a little of the crisp sage and seeds, and finish with a good drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.

  • Season the soup well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to taste.
  • Garnish the soup with a dollop of crème fraîche or sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs or toasted pumpkin seeds. This will add a touch of richness and flavor to the soup.
