    Pumpkin Pie Soup and Awards

    October 8, 2011 by athomewithrebecka 22 Comments

    Pumpkin Pie Soup

    This is a highly classified recipe, so much so, that the only recipe known to man is locked away in the mind of my friend, Chef Joe.

    Joe is the executive Chef at Brooks Place Tavern, the restaurant where I'm currently employed. I call Chef Joe the "Soup Dude", because he is a stellar soup creator.  His other foods are extremely good but the gift for soup making runs deep in his soul. 

    I've asked Joe for several of his famous soup recipes only to be denied! Pfft!  Really, the nerve of the guy! As a home cook and food blogger I can't help but share my recipes with the world.  On the other hand, I can understand Joe's unwillingness to divulge his secret recipes for fear of being copied and used by a competitor! I guess I'll have to cut him a little slack...this time!

    Joe's Pumpkin Pie Soup is the bomb!  The very first time I tried a taste, the flavors literally moved me to tears.  Leave it to me to get all verklempt over a bowl of soup. The rich pumpkin flavor balanced by the pumpkin pie seasoning and savory base is pure nirvana!  What I wouldn't give for a bowl of that hot, creamy heaven! So, what am I to do without the recipe? 

    There's a simple answer to that question.  My passion for recreating dishes that evoke sweet memories is what this blog is all about. 

    Here's my version of Chef Joe's Pumpkin Pie Soup, I hope it brings as much joy to you as it has to me!

    Pumpkin Pie Soup

     
     
     
    Pumpkin Pie Soup
     
    serves 6
     
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    45 ounces canned pumpkin
    ½ cup white onion
    ½ cup carrot
    ¼ cup celery
    2 teaspoons chicken base (substitute vegetable stock for vegetarian version)
    4 cups water
    1 cup apple cider
    1 ½ cups heavy cream
    ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
    ½ teaspoon ground ginger
    ½ teaspoon ground clove
    ½ teaspoon ground allspice
    1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
    ¾ cups granulated sugar
     
    Roughly chop onion, carrot, and celery, add vegetable oil to a heavy bottom 5 quart stock pot, cook vegetables on medium high heat, until onions are translucent, do not brown. Season with salt and pepper
     
    Add water, apple cider and chicken base to vegetables, stir and cook for 5 minutes.  Lower heat to medium and add canned pumpkin and spices, stir to combine and cook for 5 minutes more. 
     
    Remove from heat and blend ingredients with a immersion hand held blender until mixture is smooth, return to heat
     
    Reduce heat to low and return stock pot to stove top, add heavy cream and simmer for 30 minutes.
     
    Serve with ginger snaps or graham crackers and a dollop of whipped cream.
     
    Enjoy your bowl of this hot liquid heaven!

      Hi Anette, You'll have to try some pumpkin! It's delicious in so many dishes!!How are things in Norway?Romez, Thank you so much! It's so nice to meet you! I appreciate the follow on Pinterest! I'll be by to follow both your blog and Pinterest sites!Hi Karen, I think this soup would translate very well into a crock pot dish. Prep all the ingredients the night before and then leave them in the crock pot on low for 4-6 hours, add the cream about 30 minutes before you serve the dish! Let me know how it turns out!Jen, I'm happy to join in the Alexa Hop. I plan to stop by and catch up on some of the blogs I missed. Biren, I meant every word♥Not Your Ordinary, Happy to share the blog love!!heinzemom, so nice to meet you! Have followed you and will do an Alexa review of your site asap!Rochelle, thank you for stopping by and leaving a sweet comment! I hope you enjoy a big bowl of this yummy soup!

      Oh that soup looks delish. I have some butternut squash and it's getting that time of year for soups. Thank you Rebecka for the awards I truly appreciate it but I have to tell you that I don't do awards any longer. I accept them as I am doing now but I don't post them any longer because...wanna know why??..:) They slow the computer down. Honestly thank you very much for the beautiful awards and I do accept them.

      What a fabulous recipe!! I'm so glad you recreated it for us. I can't wait to try. I also loved reading the facts about you! I only recently learned to love goat cheese, still only like lamb sometimes (rarely), and am obsessed with my French press. Thanks so much for linking your pumpkin recipe up over at my linky party!!
