CURRIED CARROT SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat medium pot over medium high heat. Add olive oil, butter, onions and carrots and saute 5 minutes. Add 4 cups chicken stock, curry and cayenne, and about 1 teaspoon salt to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover and cook until carrots are very tender, about 15 minutes. Place pot on a trivet next to food processor. Process soup in 2 or 3 small batches until soup is smooth and carrots are fully pureed. Transfer processed soup into a large bowl as you work to make room for more soup in the food processor. Return completed soup to the soup pot and place back over low heat. If the soup is too thick, add remaining stock, up to 2 cups, to achieve desired consistency. Adjust seasonings. Place sour cream in a plastic condiment squeeze bottle or into a medium food storage bag. Cut a very small hole in the corner of the bag with scissors. Ladle soup into bowls and squirt a swirl of sour cream around the bowl from the center out to the rim. Drag a toothpick from the center of the bowls out to the edges, forming a spider web design on soup. Pile a few pieces of cut chives at the center of each bowl to resemble green spiders in their webs! Cool!

CURRIED PUMPKIN SOUP

Steps:

• If using a whole pumpkin, place the pumpkin halves, cut side down, on a baking sheet and pour a half cup of water onto the baking sheet. Cover the pan with foil and bake at 350 F for about 1 hour, or until the pumpkin flesh is tender when pierced with a knife. When cool enough to handle, scrape the pumpkin flesh from the skins.
• Heat the oil and butter in a large stockpot. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the pears, garlic and curry powder to the pot and cook 2 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Add the wine or juice and deglaze, scraping up any caramelized bits on the bottom of the pot. Add the roasted pumpkin and the chicken broth and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 45 minutes.
• Puree the soup in batches in a blender until smooth, or use an immersion blender to puree the soup in the pot. Return the pureed soup to the pot and heat thoroughly. Stir in the cream and adjust the seasoning. Do not boil.
• Serve the soup in warm bowls garnished with a dollop of crème fraîche or sour cream and a few pumpkin seeds.
