CREAMY PUMPKIN CORN SOUP FROM SCRATCH

Ingredients

  • 1 medium pie pumpkin
  • 2 tablespoons grass-fed ghee or butter how to make ghee
  • 1/2 onion chopped
  • 2-3 large carrots chopped
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3 cups homemade bone broth 4 cups if you prefer it more liquid
  • 1.5 cups corn
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup heavy cream not ultra-pasteurized
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cut the pumpkin in half, be careful - the skin is quite tough. Scoop out the seeds. Cut each half into four pieces and place them on a cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until the edges start to brown. Allow to cool.Once cooled, peel the skin off, it should be very easy to do now. Cut the flesh into pieces.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a deep heavy bottomed pot, add onion and half the carrots. Saute until carrots soften. Add pumpkin, bone broth, maple syrup and salt and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • While the pot is simmering, put 1 tablespoon of ghee, corn and remaining carrots in a small frying pan, salt to taste and sauté on low until corn starts to brown.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the soup. Alternatively, process it in a high-powered blender in two batches. 
  • Add cream, nutmeg and sauteed corn and carrots. Simmer for a few minutes.
