Ingredients
1 5lbs sugar pumpkin (around 2.5 cups pumpkin puree)2 1/2 cup carrots, chopped 2 medium onions, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced 4 cup vegetable broth 2 tbsp molasses (agave nectar or maple syrup will also work) 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp paprika 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using a sharp knife, cut the sugar pumpkin in half. Use a sharp spoon to scrape out all of the seeds and strings. Brush the flesh of the pumpkin with small amount of olive oil and place face down on the baking sheet. Chop carrots, then brush with oil and place around the pumpkin. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a fork easily pierces the skin of the pumpkin. Remove from the oven, let cool for 10 minutes or until it can be handled, then peel away skin and set pumpkin aside.
To a large saucepan over medium heat add 1 tablespoon olive oil, onion and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly browned and translucent. Turn down heat if cooking too quickly.
Add remaining ingredients, including the pumpkin and carrots, and bring to a simmer.
Transfer soup mixture to a blender or use an emulsion blender to puree the soup. If using a blender, place a towel over the top of the lid before mixing to avoid any accidents. Pour mixture back into pot.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Serving Size: Makes around 8 1-cup servings.
