  • heavy cream - 1 c
  • stick butter - 1 item

How to make soup in a pumpkin:

Cook minced onion in butter until tender but not browned; stir the bread crumbs into the onion and cook for 3 minutes. Cut a cover out of the pumpkin; scrape out the inedible insides and rub the inside of the pumpkin and cover with soft butter. Turn crumb mixture into the pumpkin; stir in Swiss cheese and fill to within 2 inches of top with chicken stock. Season with salt, pepper and sage.

Bake on a pizza pan in a preheated 400° oven for about 1 1/2 hours or until pumpkin has just softened, but do not overcook or pumpkin will collapse. (Keep it in a 175° oven until ready to serve.)

To serve, bring cream to simmer. Pour into pumpkin. Add chopped parsley on top. At the table, ladle soup into hot bowls, scraping off some of the flesh from inside the pumpkin as you do so.
