Smoked Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients

4 cups pumpkin (1/2 small pumpkin)

4 tablespoon coconut oil

2 large leeks

1 cup onion

1 red pepper roasted

2 fresh corn grilled

6 cloves garlic

4 cup chicken or vegetable stock

salt and pepper to taste

Scallion to garnish

Greedy Tips:

  • Every chicken-stock has different salt levels or no salt at all, so add enough salt to your liking based on the salt level in your stock
  • I left the seeds in the pumpkin so they could smoke too. If you like to eat pumpkin seeds these smoked ones would be lovely tossed in some seasonings and butter and roasted in the oven.


Instruction

For the prep

  • Place the pumpkin in your smoked or on your grill set up for indirect smoking. the pumpkin should not come in contact with any direct flames
  • remove seeds, peel and chop up the pumpkin
  • slice and clean leeks by soaking in water the dirt will sink, scoop clean leeks from the top
  • Roast a red pepper on an open flame until completely charred all over. Put it in a covered container to steam for 5 to 10 minutes then peel away the charred skin. slice and chop the roasted red pepper
  • Place corn on a grill and roast on all sides, once cool enough to handle cut the kernels off the cob

For the soup

  • Warm coconut oil in a deep pot
  • add roasted red pepper, onion and garlic season with a few pinches of salt
  • add half the corn kernels, smoked pumpkin, and leeks stir to combine
  • add chicken or veggie stock/broth and bring to a boil
  • once boiling reduce and simmer for 20 minutes
  • blend the soup until smooth
  • serve topped with the remaining grilled corn and chopped scallions
