madbakerThis week's Resolution Recipe: Roasted Pumpkin Soup with Cocoa Nib Cream.
one 2.5-3 lb pumpkin
1 medium onion, cut into eighths (I added some garlic as well)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
4 cups stock or water
1 Tbsp chopped sage leaves
white pepper
3 Tbsp cocoa nibs
1/2 cup cream
Heat oven to 450 and line a baking sheet with foil. Quarter and seed the squash. Peel and cut it into 2" pieces. Place on the baking sheet with the onion, drizzle with olive oil and salt. Toss to coat and roast for 25 minutes, turning once or twice, until tender and browned at the edges.
Puree the roasted veg with 1 cup liquid. Transfer to a saucepan and add remaining liquid. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and season with pepper.
Just before serving, crush the nibs lightly and combine with cream. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls and spoon a drizzle of cream and nibs over each bowl.
What worked: It was a reasonable use of the pumpkin.
What didn't: Meh, unexciting.
Will I make it again? Probably not.
