- (to taste) Fine Celtic Sea Salt, 1lb
- (1-3) Small Pumpkin for Bowl (Tiger Stripe or Sparkler)
- (sprinkle for topping, optional) Paprika
- (3-4, chopped and crisped, optional) Sage Leaves
Directions
- In a large skillet, warm the oil over medium heat and add the onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.
- Add ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, tahini, pumpkin, butternut squash, broth, cream and sea salt. Mix well and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add arrowroot powder if the soup isn’t getting thick enough.
Toppings - Top with a swirl of heavy cream, pumpkin seeds, crispy sage (if using), chopped naked bacon and a sprinkle of paprika.
Pumpkin Bowls
- Cut off top and remove seeds. Oil the cut area and inside with butter or ghee.
- Bake the pumpkins on a baking sheet for 30-40 mins on 400F (cut side down).
- The stem on the lids should be wrapped in foil so they don't burn.
- Keep an eye on the lids (they should only cook until soft (10-15minutes).
Notes/Tips
- It's best to have your homemade squash purees made ahead of time as they will be the tastiest. You can use pre-made/frozen as well.
- Don’t forget to save the seeds to bake later. I like to bake them plain and offer them to the wildlife outside :)
- If you want the soup smooth and creamy, add soup to a blender.
