Instructions

  • Wash and cut the tomatoes in half horizontally. Place the tomato halves, cut-side facing up onto a metal, rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a teaspoon of kosher salt.
  • Roast the tomatoes on the middle rack of your preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool before transferring the tomatoes into your blender.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large dutch oven on medium heat, sauté shallot in a teaspoon of olive oil until soft and translucent. Add in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • To the blender with the tomatoes, add the shallots and garlic, pumpkin puree, paprika, cinnamon, sugar, sage*, nutmeg and lemon juice. Puree until smooth.
  • Add the tomato/pumpkin puree back into the dutch oven and stir in the vegetable broth (add more broth for a thinner soup). Taste, adding more salt as desired. Bring to a bubble and heat until piping hot.
  • Ladle hot soup into bowls and serve with a drizzle of heavy cream and olive oil. Top with pepitas, fresh basil and freshly ground black pepper.
