Pumpkin and Apple Soup

Preheat the oven to 400º. Oil the inside of the pumpkin and apple halves and season with salt. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the pumpkin meat is fork-tender. Remove from the oven. When it’s cool enough to handle, use a spoon to scoop out the roasted pumpkin. Set aside.

在一个大锅中，将黄油融化在适度的热量上。一旦黄油开始变成褐色，加入洋葱和炒5分钟。加入苹果，大蒜，红糖，肉桂，白胡椒，肉豆蔻和辣椒，煮3分钟。加入烤南瓜，肉汤和苹果酒，搅拌以掺入，然后用盐调味，然后煮沸。将热量降低至低，然后小火煮20分钟。搅拌奶油，冷却10分钟。

Transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersionblender in the pot) and puree until smooth. If needed, add additional water or broth to reach the desired consistency. Return the mixture to the saucepan. Serve warm and garnish with freshly diced apple and candied walnuts.
