Ingredients1 medium pumpkin, about 4 pounds
1 tablespoon butter
2 slices bacon, diced
1 large yellow onion, chopped
6 cups chicken stock1/2 cup heavy cream, plus 1 cup for garnish1/4 cup orange juiceLarge pinch freshly grated nutmegSalt and freshly ground black pepperWhole leaves flat-leaf parsley, as a garnish1 tablespoon chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
Preheat the oven to 375 degree F. Halve the pumpkin from top to bottom and place it, cut side down, on an oiled baking sheet. Bake until the pumpkin can be easily skewered, 45 to 60 minutes. Cool for about 20 minutes.
With a spoon, remove the seeds and discard. Scrape the pulp and reserve. Discard the skin.
Melt remaining 1 tablespoon of the butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the bacon and onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and the bacon is just turning golden, about 7 minutes. Add the pumpkin and stock and simmer until the pumpkin falls apart, about 30 minutes. Let cool for about 20 minutes.
In batches, puree the soup in a blender on high speed, 3 minutes per batch, until very smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean soup pot and add the cream, orange juice, and nutmeg. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
If the soup is too thick, correct the consistency with additional water or stock.
For the garnish, chop 1 tablespoon chipotle pepper. Whip 1 cup cream to soft peak. Stir peppers into cream.
To serve, ladle the hot soup bowls. Spoon dollop of chipotle cream into soup.
