How to Make Chipotle Pumpkin Soup

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut a 1.5-2 lb sugar pumpkin in half, remove seeds, and place cut-side down on a baking sheet with sides. Add ½ cup water and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan.
  3. Roast for 40-45 minutes, or until pumpkin is easily pierced with a fork.
  4. While pumpkin roasts, melt 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  5. Add 1 medium yellow onion, chopped, and sauté until softened and lightly browned (about 5 minutes).
  6. Add 1 cup chopped carrots and 1 cup chopped bell pepper; cook and stir until carrots are tender, about 10 minutes.
  7. Add 4 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  8. Stir in 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth, 1-2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (finely minced, adjust to taste), 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  9. Bring to a low boil over medium-high heat.
  10. Scoop out the roasted pumpkin flesh, discarding the skin. Add pumpkin to the soup.
  11. Reduce heat to low, simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes.
  12. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped.
  13. Let cool slightly before pureeing.
  14. Carefully puree soup in a blender in batches until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids).
  15. Reheat gently if needed. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  16. Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds, a drizzle of pumpkin seed oil, or a dollop of crème fraîche mixed with lime juice.
