Cooking Directions

  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over moderate heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and apple and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes.
  2. Stir in the pumpkin puree, wine, sage, and bay leaf. Add the water, broth, salt, and pepper and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 15 minutes. Add the ham and simmer, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes longer. Remove the bay leaf.

  • MMM Great Soup For FALL!!

    bjexposed - October 13, 2007 07:52:23 PM PST
    I was so excited to make this soup and it definately lived up to my expectations. It was fast and easy and used ingredients that I usually have already.
    I am not one to follow recipes strictly so this was no exception.
    I added some diced red potatoes and a tablespoon or so of sugar.
    I also only added about half of the water it called for because I wanted it more stew-like.
    The apples were a delicious addition!
    My kids loved it and I will definately make it again!

  • Calorie count?

    Haven't made the soup yet, but rated it based on the potential.I read this recipe, with excitment, thinking that it would be perfect for a party I'm having later this month. Then I got to the calorie count which, as was mentioned in the previous post, really confused me! Seems awfully high. Wonder how to check it?

  • Good, but better with a few additions

    I love that it's such a quick, simple recipe to make, but I did mess around with it a bit. The original recipe seemed to be too sweet, with not enough in it to match the heartiness of the pumpkin.
    I switched out the ham for chorizo- a spicy mexican sausage that I pulled out of it's casing to fry before tossing in. I switched the wine for a full bottle of honey porter (Sam Adams) for stronger flavor. To balance the spicy sausage, I also put in about 1/2 cup of apple cider (reduce water accordingly), and a can of no-salt corn.
    It came out incredible, and I would highly recommend it. The only question I had on the recipe was how it came out to 656 calories per serving- the pumpkin, broth, and veggies are very low cal. The sausage would get you there, if you ate the whole 2 pounds, but per cup wouldn't be so much. So where do the high calories come from?

    I loved this recipe! I have a creamy pumkin soup recipe that is a favorite of mine, and was so excited to find a broth based one! I cut back on the water a little and added more wine and broth...also, there's a lot of ham--i cut back a bit on the pig and added more apple, celery, and carrot. I can see how potatos would be a nice addition too since it's very stew like. perhaps sweet potatoes? Also, I suspect the fat g. and fiber g. were mixed up since Pumpkin is a great source of fiber (go super foods!) which is what is making the calorie content so high...also, this definately makes more than 4 servings unless you're having Paul Bunyan's family over for dinner.
