- We're going to serve it in the shell it comes in. It's one of the presentations I saw at home and in the countryside in Europe and requires a pumpkin about the size of a basketball for this recipe. You can use a smaller or possibly larger one as seems to suit your group. The fillings can be increased, decreased or possibly changed a great deal, up to about 4 c. croutons, for example. One addition which adds a rich flavor is minced chestnuts.
- Crumbled bacon works well and so does a little minced and sauteed onion and together, they're heavenly. This is most assuredly not a low fat dish but if the rest of the meal is OK, this will make a most memorable addition. And if the rest of the meal is high in fats, well, sometimes we have to feed the soul, too. Tomorrow...
- Method: Preheat oven to 425. Cut the top of the pumpkin as though for a Jack O'Lantern. Remove strings and seeds and put croutons and cheeses in layers. Pour in cream and stock, add in spices. Replace top and bake about 2 hrs. Bring to the table and use a large spoon to scoop out pumpkin and fillings. Top with liquid, garnish with more croutons or possibly a sprinkling of cinnamon.
- If the soup is just one part of a holiday dinner, this recipe could serve 14 or possibly 16 people as a very flavorful opening to the meal.
