5 pounds edible pumpkin, Galeux D'Eysines
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 leeks, cleaned and sliced white parts
1 medium-sized yellow onion, diced
2 fresh sprigs rosemary, chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme, stemmed
1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
1/2 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
8 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sugar, optional
1 pinch nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup half and half

1
First, get a sharp knife. Cut the pumpkin in half, scoop out seeds. Cut the halves into manageable chunks, then cut away the outer rind. Dice the flesh into 1-inch cubes. It's really not so hard if you have a good chef's knife.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot, medium heat. Add the leeks, onion and herbs and sweat the aromatics until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the pumpkin cubes and the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and let simmer until the pumpkin is tender, about 20-30 minutes.
3
Puree using an immersion blender. Swirl in the butter and the half and half. Add the nutmeg, then taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed. Use the sugar if you like a slight sweetness to your soups.
