Wild varieties of pumpkin grew in Central and North America for thousands of years.\u00a0 When the pumpkin plant was domesticated in North America, it became a traditional autumn harvest.\u00a0 Many varieties of pumpkin are cultivated for the consumption and for the ornamental purposes, especially used to celebrate Halloween.\u00a0 The pumpkin is a versatile ingredient used to make creamy soups, sweet pies, aromatic oils and toasted seeds.\u00a0 It is a good source of vitamins, minerals and fiber.\u00a0 For our recipe, we select a blue pumpkin that has a grey-colored shell, an orange flesh and a dense texture to create a delicious soup.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pumpkin Soup, very popular for Thanksgiving in the United States, is often made with pumpkin pur\u00e9e, vegetables, herbs, cream and spices.\u00a0 In the Caribbean Island of Haiti, the Soup Joumou is a hearty meat-based pumpkin soup, prepared to celebrate Haiti\u2019s Independence from the French colonists.\u00a0 Our recipe celebrates the natural flavor of the blue pumpkin, complemented by vegetables and spices.\u00a0 We use Pumpkin Seed Oil imported by Styrian Gold (styriangold.ca) in Canada and produced in Styria, Austria.\u00a0 A drizzle of pumpkin seed oil intensifies the savory flavor of our Pumpkin Soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cut the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds and the innards.  Cut the pumpkin into eight pieces, then place them skin-side up on the baking sheet and roast for 1 hour at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  Afterward, scoop the pumpkin flesh, pur\u00e9e in a few batches in the blender and set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In a large cast iron cocotte, saut\u00e9 the carrots and the onions in the olive oil and butter over medium heat for about 5 minutes.  Add the pumpkin pur\u00e9e, the water and the potatoes.  Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover with a lid and simmer for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Add the cream, the nutmeg, the black pepper and the sea salt.  Simmer for a few more minutes. Pour the Pumpkin Soup into bowls and drizzle the pumpkin seed oil.  Enjoy the flavors of the autumn harvest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
