Servings: persons

10 whole cloves
2 whole star anise
1 stick cinnamon
2 whole allspice berries
5 whole black peppercorns
1 (1 1/2-inch) piece fresh ginger, cut into 4 pieces
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 medium onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 medium leek (white and pale green parts only), thoroughly washed and diced
3 (15-ounce) cans solid-pack pumpkin (not pie filling)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 cup mini marshmallows
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup untoasted, unsalted pepitas (pumpkin seeds), coarsely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup creme fraiche
2 (8-inch) squares cheesecloth; kitchen string; blender; 1 large baking sheet; parchment paper

1
Wrap the cloves, star anise, cinnamon stick, allspice berries, peppercorns, and fresh ginger in cheesecloth and secure with kitchen string.
2
In a large heavy pot over moderate heat, melt the butter. Add the onions, garlic, celery, and leeks and saute until translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the pumpkin, 2 quarts water, and the spice package and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to moderately low and simmer uncovered until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
3
Remove and discard the spice package. Working in small batches, ladle the soup into a blender and puree until smooth. Transfer to a clean large pot then sprinkle with nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve. DO AHEAD:
4
In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, combine marshmallows and cinnamon and gently toss to coat the marshmallows in cinnamon. DO AHEAD:
5
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350u00b0F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
6
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the butter and, using your hands, rub the ingredients together until the texture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add the pepitas and toss to combine. Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the streusel to a rack to cool, then break it into roughly 1-inch pieces. DO AHEAD:
7
In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream and creme fraiche. Whisk until light and fluffy. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD:
8
Ladle the warm soup into bowls and garnish with the streusel, marshmallows, and dollops of whipped creme fraiche.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
