Keep warm (and feel satisfied) with this hearty, seasonal soup from my friends at Stone Werks.
- Heat butter in a large pot (8-quart) on medium high
heat. Add the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic,
cumin, oregano, cinnamon and chipotle, cook for 1 minute more. - Add the pumpkin, chicken stock and salt. Bring to a
simmer, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, partially covered. Add cream
, simmer 10 min more. - Remove the soup from heat. Working in batches of 2
cups each, purée the soup in batches, holding down the lid to the blender
tightly while puréeing, and starting on a slow speed. Return the puréed soup to
the pot. - Hold warm till ready to serve, garnish top of soup with
toasted pecans, cilantro and avocado.
