Roasted Pumpkin Bisque

Serves 8–10

5 pounds pumpkin, skin removed, and cut into 3/4 inch dice
2 yellow onions, chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cups gluten-free chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
optional: 2/3 cups heavy cream or crème fraiche

Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss pumpkin, onions and thyme in olive oil and spread mixture onto one or two large baking sheets. Season with salt and pepper and roast for 20–30 minutes until tender, stirring once or twice. Remove from oven and transfer to a large saucepot. Add stock, wine and cardamom and simmer for 10 minutes. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender or food processor until smooth and transfer to a clean saucepan and check seasoning. When ready to serve, bring back to simmer. Remove from heat and whisk in cream.
