aw pumpkin

i seriously can't get enough pumpkins right now. i'm enchanted with all the possibilities they present. i heard a chef talking on npr today about her favorite pumpkin dish. i tried a similar version.

1 7 to 8 lb pumpkin
1 1/2 c milk
1 to 2 c chicken broth
1 c cheese ( i used 1/2  c cheddar and 1/2 c parmesan)
1 c diced onion
3 diced cloves of garlic
salt and pepper to taste
bread (either served as croutons or baked right into soup)

cut the top off pumpkin and remove slime and seeds. add all ingredients to inside of pumpkin. cover the cut off top with tinfoil, put on top of pumpkin. cook at 350 for about 2 hours on a baking sheet. when finished cooking, scrape the soft inside of pumpkin into the soup.

*next time i will try a regular orange pumpkin, swiss cheese and baking the bread right into the soup.

the pumpkin i carved earlier, already rotted. booooo. i replaced it with these two. i used a little scotch tape and spray paint magic.
