Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, chopped about 3 cloves
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 4 cups roasted pumpkin - instructions below about 3-4 lb. sugar pumpkin
  • 1 cup apple chopped (healing cupful) about 1 large apple
  • ½ teaspoon thyme, dried
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • ½ cup half and half cream or heavy cream
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh thyme and roasted pumpkin seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Roast Pumpkin

  • To roast, preheat the oven to 350℉ and spray oil on a baking sheet. Slice the pumpkin in half with a sharp knife and scoop out the seeds and stringy membrane.
  • Drizzle the flesh with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and rub it in to coat.
  • Place the pumpkin halves flesh-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 40-45 minutes, until a fork easily pierces the flesh.
  • Once cooled, the skin will peel away effortlessly. 

Make the Soup

  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and saute about 5 minutes or until translucent. Add the garlic and saute about 30 seconds.
  • Add the vegetable broth, pumpkin, carrots, apple and thyme. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the soup. Or working in batches, puree in a blender. 
  • Stir in the cream. Add salt and pepper to taste and heat through.
  • Ladle into soup bowls. Garnish with fresh thyme and/or roasted pumpkin seeds, if desired.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. For freezer storage - store prior to adding the cream. Then when ready, defrost in refrigerator overnight, add cream and heat.
