Steps:
- In a small nonreactive bowl, briskly whisk both the cream and sour cream. Slowly add the lime juice to the cream mixture. Continue whisking until thick and thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. (This crema can be made 1 week ahead of time. Keep refrigerated.)
- In a heavy bottomed large pot, over medium heat, add the softened butter until melted.
- Add the onions and sauté for about 10 minutes or so, until softened and translucent, but not beginning to brown.
- In the same pot, thoroughly combine the canned pumpkin, whole milk and your desired amount of crushed dried red pepper. Continue stirring, slowly. You don't want the milk to splash around!
- Purée the entire mixture. Depending on the "bowl" of your processor or blender, you may need to puree in separate batches or use an immersion blender.
- Return pureed pumpkin mixture to pot.
- Slowly and thoroughly stir in the broth. Simmer for 15-20 minutes to marry the flavors, returning to stir from time to time.
- Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Ladle soup into bowls, or cups. With a spoon, drizzle with chilled cream mixture and sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds. Sip Sip Away!
SPICY SAVORY PUMPKIN SOUP
I made this one up on my own after I learned how to cook well enough. All kinds of beans can be used, black beans do very well as do pinto beans, but regular red or dark red kidney beans are my favorite with this particular soup. You can also substitute pumpkin puree for squash puree! I think the green onion goes perfect with the mix but a small can of green chiles works well too. This is a great soup to have in the fall. Yields about 4 medium-sized servings.

SAVORY PUMPKIN SOUP
This is a savory pumpkin soup, as an alternative to those with pie-like seasonings. Some in my family don't appreciate the more traditional pumpkin spices, and this recipe is very savory and welcomed by all! This is a yummy, adaptable soup. I have also tried various options, with much success. For a sweeter taste, add some well-cooked and pureed sweet potatoes. Butternut squash also matches well. Shrimp is a nice addition. I cooked some and then added to the dish before serving. This soup also works very well in a crock pot. Wait to add the sour cream until close to serving time. I did try it without sour cream, and that was nice as well, but I prefer the creaminess.

Steps:
- Chop garlic and cook in olive oil for 30 seconds - 1 minute. Add the pumpkin, and vegetable/chicken stock, water, curry powder and cumin. Bring this to a boil and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use an immersion/stick blender to blitz the soup until smooth. Add sliced mushrooms (and chicken or shrimp, if desired). Turn heat to low and simmer until kale is done.
- Wash the kate well in a bowl of water. Separate the leaves from the stems. Discard the stems. Place a frying pan over a medium heat and fill with the kale. Put a lid on the pan, if you have one, and wilt the kale for three minutes, turning every so often so the kale cooks evenly. Remove from the frying pan to a chopping board and leave to cool completely.
- Remove the soup from the heat and stir through the sour cream. Grind over some pepper and add salt to taste.
- Chop the kale and add to the soup pot.
- Taste for seasoning.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds with a spoon (see tip below). Cut into wedges or chunks (keep the skin on) and tip into a bowl. Put the garam masala, and 1 tsp each of the coriander and cumin into a small bowl and mix with 2 tbsp of the oil and season. Drizzle over the pumpkin and toss well to coat in the spiced oil. Transfer to a baking tray, spread out evenly and roast for 40-45 mins, turning halfway through cooking, until the pumpkin is very soft when pierced with a fork. Leave to cool on the tray for a few minutes.
- Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan and fry the onion with a pinch of salt for 10 mins until soft. Add the ginger, garlic and remaining spices and chilli flakes, and fry for a few more minutes until fragrant. Pour in the stock and bring to a gentle simmer.
- When the pumpkin is cool enough to touch, use a spoon to scoop the soft flesh from the skins. Add the soft pumpkin to the stock pan, discarding the skins. Remove from the heat and blitz the soup with a hand blender until creamy and smooth. Season to taste, adding extra chilli or garam masala if you like. Put back over a low heat and stir in the cream. Bring to a gentle simmer, then serve in bowls with a drizzle more cream and a pinch of chilli to serve. Top with toasted pumpkin seeds, if you like.

Tips:
- Choose flavorful pumpkins: Opt for sugar pumpkins, butternut squash, or kabocha squash, which offer a naturally sweet and rich taste.
- Roast the pumpkin: Roasting intensifies the pumpkin's flavor and caramelizes its natural sugars. Roast the pumpkin pieces at a high temperature until tender and slightly browned.
- Use a variety of spices: Don't limit yourself to traditional pumpkin pie spices. Experiment with warm and aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, or chipotle powder for a unique and flavorful twist.
- Add a touch of heat: If you enjoy a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper, chili powder, or a serrano pepper to the soup. This adds a subtle spiciness that balances the sweetness of the pumpkin.
- Incorporate creamy elements: To create a velvety and rich texture, you can add coconut milk, heavy cream, or cashew cream to the soup. These ingredients will also balance the spiciness and add a touch of creaminess.
- Garnish for extra flavor and texture: Enhance the soup's presentation and flavor by garnishing it with toasted pumpkin seeds, crumbled bacon, chopped cilantro, or a dollop of sour cream. These toppings add additional layers of flavor and texture that complement the soup perfectly.
