Pumpkin Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons

Ingredients:

• 1 medium pumpkin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 slices of bread
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 4 tablespoons butter

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the pumpkin in half, remove the seeds and place it on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and roast for 45 minutes, or until the pumpkin is soft. Let it cool, then scoop out the flesh and set aside.

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened. Add the roasted pumpkin, broth, cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

While the soup is simmering, make the grilled cheese croutons. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place 2 slices, buttered side down, on a hot griddle or skillet. Top each slice with a slice of cheddar cheese, then place the remaining 2 slices of bread on top, buttered side up. Cook until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted, then cut into small squares.

Once the soup is done, use an immersion blender to puree it until smooth. Serve in bowls and top with the grilled cheese croutons. This pumpkin soup is a perfect starter for your Thanksgiving meal, and the grilled cheese croutons add a fun and delicious twist.
