4 tablespoons farm-fresh butter 1 large onion, chopped 1 carrot, chopped 2 pounds pumpkin flesh, diced Grated nutmeg Salt and pepper 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock 1 cup chardonnay 1⁄2 cup light cream 1⁄2 cup sour cream
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large soup pot; add the onion and carrot, and sauté until soft but not brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the pumpkin and season with nutmeg (just a touch), salt and pepper. Cover and continue cooking, stirring often until the pumpkin starts to soften, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the stock and wine, cover and simmer until the pumpkin is very tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Puree the soup in a blender and return to the pot. Stir in the creams and bring back to a simmer before serving.
