Ingredients
- 1 large pumpkin
- 1/2 cup butter + 1 Tbsp divided
- 1 cup white onion diced
- 1 1/2 cups Italian bread crumbs
- 1 cup flour
- 1 Tablespoon celery seed
- 1 pound Italian sausage cooked and drained
- 1/2 cup Swiss cheese grated
- 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
- 2 quarts chicken stock or broth
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup parsley dried
- 2 cups kale fresh
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Cut lid out of pumpkin. As you are cutting around the stem, angle the knife towards the stem so the ring on the inside of the pulp is smaller than the ring on the outside of the pumpkin. This will make it so the lid won't fall in when it is replaced for baking.
- Preheat oven to 400. Remove seeds.
- Rub the inside of the lid with 1 Tbsp butter.
- In a skillet, melt 1/2 cup butter and sauté onions in the melted butter until tender.
- Add bread crumbs, flour, and celery seed. Stir until coated and cook for 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and pour into pumpkin.
- Add sausage, grated cheeses, chicken stock, thyme, salt, parsley, and kale.
- Put lid on pumpkin and bake on cookie sheet for 1 1/2 hours then carefully remove from oven.
- In a medium saucepan, bring cream to a simmer. Add to contents of pumpkin. Stir well.
- When serving, scrape sides of pumpkin with the ladle or a spoon so that bits of pumpkin are added to the soup.
Notes
- Make this soup ahead of time and reheat when ready to enjoy! Store this soup in an air tight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days long.
- When ready to reheat, warm on medium-low heat to avoid separating the soup.
