Ingredients




Preparation 10 minutes preparation + 120 minutes cooking

Cut an opening around the stem end of the pumpkin, so that you will have a tureen with its lid, and remove all seeds and strings.

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat and sauté chopped celery, parsley, basil leaves and sprigs of thyme for 2 - 3 minutes.

Pour broth in the prepared pumpkin, celery mixture, peeled garlic and grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

Stir well and close the lid as tightly as possible.

Bake in a preheated 450°F oven for a couple of hours.

Take the whole pumpkin to the table, open and remove garlic.

With a spoon, scrape the flesh from the peel and process in a blender until creamy.

If this mixture is too thick, add a bit of hot broth.

Serve piping hot with a few drops of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, if desired.
