Yes, it's a mouthful, but I couldn't think of what to leave out of the name.
This is a very versatile soup - you can use different broths, vegetable or poultry, or water. You can make this vegan or vegetarian, and by default, the soup is gluten-free. You can change up the types of vegetables you want to use, or leave out the pumpkin altogether. We'll start with my basic recipe.
Did I mention this recipe has only 257 calories per serving?
Cost: around ten bucks, less if you make your own stock or broth.
You will need:
A large soup pot
A stick blender or regular blender
The ability to halve a large squash without injuring oneself
or
The ability to purchase pre-cubed squash.
Ingredients:
1 large butternut squash
1 large or 2 small or medium sweet onions
half a bag of baby cut carrots or 3 regular carrots
2 red, yellow or orange peppers or a combo
1 bulb of garlic
4 tbsp olive oil
1.5 cups milk - almond, soy, rice all work well too to make it vegan, OR 1 cup of cream
2 tbsp cornstarch
3 cups vegetable, chicken or turkey broth or water
1/2 can of pumpkin puree
salt to taste
black pepper
Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, pumpkin seeds for garnish, black sea salt, pumpkin

Wash peppers and remove stickers
Slice off the top 1/3 of the garlic bulb
Halve the squash and de-seed

You just reminded me I have some squash to use up...
Leeks and mushrooms can add a warm, rich flavor, too.
I may do my next batch with leeks and portabella strips. The visual aspect of the spore filled ribs in mushrooms bugs me too.
