This soup has some interesting ingredients. Pumpkin (of course), orange juice, smoked Gruyere cheese, and Sherry are among them. It’s easy to do, the ingredients are fairly cheap (you’ll see I bought all of mine at either Aldi or Walmart) and it’s cooks in under an hour.
Heat 3 pats of butter in a Dutch oven. Cook the onions until translucent. Add the pumpkin, potatoes, and ginger. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until heated through.
Add the chicken stock, orange juice, and sherry. Bring to a boil and then let simmer for 20 minutes. Potatoes should be soft.
Add the cream, salt, and pepper. Heat it through, about 5 minutes. Add 4 ounces of the Gruyere cheese, making sure it is melted throughout the soup.
Remove from heat and serve. If you’ve got some nice crusty French bread, it goes well with this. I picked up a baguette at Aldi and it was perfect with this.
I’m going to give this a try, sounds yummy.
