Ingredients

    1 small (12 inch) pumpkin, or 1 29-ounce can organic pumpkin
    1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    1 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
    1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground dried spicebush berry or allspice
    3 to 4 cups broth
    salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Note: If using a fresh pumpkin, preheat the oven to 350F, place the pumpkin in a baking pan and bake for one hour, or until the skin of the pumpkin is easily pierced with a knife. Remove the pumpkin from the oven and cool. Cut the pumpkin in half and scrape off the seeds (save the seeds to make slow-roasted pumpkin seeds). Next, scrape the pumpkin flesh from the shell. Mash or puree the pumpkin flesh in a blender.
Combine all ingredients except the broth, in a large saucepan, and heat slowly. Gradually stir in the broth to reach the desired consistency. Simmer until hot. Garnish with nuts, seeds, and scallions.
