ROAST PUMPKIN AND ONION SOUP
This is a nice soup for a special occasion when you're roasting a turkey or a joint. It can be made ticher by the addition of cream but I tend to serve it lighter without.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. (200 degrees C/Gas 6)

- 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.

Tips for a Perfect Pumpkin and Onion Soup
- Choose the right pumpkin. Use a sugar pumpkin or another small, sweet pumpkin for the best flavor.
- Roast the pumpkin and onions. Roasting intensifies their flavor and gives the soup a rich, caramelized color.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so make sure it's flavorful and delicious.
- 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.
