For almost two months now, my house has been decorated for the holidays. As soon as I put away the inside Halloween decorations, I crawled through the attic to start setting up Christmas. However, there’s been one annoying item in my home messing up the Christmas vibe; the wee sugar pumpkin sitting on my kitchen counter. It’s just been sitting there, taking up space, and making me sigh each time I get a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye. So, after finally having enough of its, “Hey lady, are you ever going to freaking use me before I go bad?” dirty looks, I decided it was finally time to use the darn thing. And, as with this Parmesan Pumpkin Soup with Hot Honey, I’m still pretty much convinced that cooking with fresh pumpkin is the biggest pain in the ass ever, however, it’s not quite as bad when I can guilt B.O.B. Bob to help me cut, deseed, and peel it. Thanks to my Dupuytren’s contracture, and the pain and discomfort it often causes, I now have the perfect excuse to hand a bunch of my most loathed tasks over to him. And thankfully, he’s always very understanding and doesn’t give me dirty looks like that freaking wee pumpkin. So, if you don’t have a B.O.B. Bob, like me, to do your dirty work for you, I’m also including directions on how to use canned pumpkin for this recipe. Because even though fresh pumpkin tastes so much better, canned pumpkin is so much easier and causes way less potential danger to your digits. Plus, if you use canned pumpkin, you won’t have to have a real pumpkin sitting on your counter for possibly months, giving you dirty looks and totally messing up your Christmas theme.

Directions:

  1. Place all ingredients, except the heavy whipping cream, in a large Dutch oven or stockpot over high heat. Stir to combine.
  2. When the soup comes to a boil, decrease the heat to low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the heavy whipping cream. Stir to combine and allow to cook for 5 minutes uncovered.
  4. In several small batches, blend the soup until smooth in a traditional blender, or use an immersion blender to blend the soup inside the Dutch oven or stockpot.
  5. Salt to taste.
  6. Sprinkle a little bit of additional chili powder on the soup for garnish.

Suggestions:

  • One 3 to 5-pound sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin should yield enough pumpkin to make this recipe; the larger the pumpkin, the more squash flavor and thicker the soup. I used a 4 1/2-pound pumpkin for this recipe.
  • If you prefer to use canned pumpkin, I would use two 15-oz. cans of pure canned pumpkin. Since you won’t have to wait for the pumpkin to soften, it will not need the full 30 minutes of cooking time. I would allow the soup to come to a boil, lower the heat, cover it with a lid, and allow it to cook for 15 minutes before adding the heavy whipping cream.
  • The color of this soup may vary depending on the pumpkin you use. Fresh pumpkin is not as vibrant as canned pumpkin. It’s quite pale in comparison.
  • For added flavor, instead of onion powder use toasted granulated onion which you can find available online.
  • Make sure to blend the soup in small batches or the steam from the soup may cause the lid on the blender to blow off. I suggest two to three batches, depending on the size of your blender.
