1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 medium Pumpkin, quartered and cleaned of seeds
1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
6 Cloves garlic, coarsely chopped (up to 10)
Water
Pepper & salt to taste
2 cups Chicken or vegetable broth (up to 3)
Milk (amount varies according to desired richness)

Directions

Arrange quartered pumpkin in a baking dish, skin side down. Top with sliced onions and chopped garlic. Add water, enough for about 1-2 inches in pan.

Cover with foil and bake (about 350) until pumpkin is very tender. Pour off and reserve cooking water; scrape cooked flesh from pumpkin, and puree with onion, garlic, and cooking water when cooled. Transfer pureed mixture to pot. Add chicken broth to desired consistency and heat; add milk just before serving. SHredded mozzarella and/or croutons can be added, too.

This also works with acorn squahsh, although the flavor is a little different.
