Pumpkin Bisque

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Sauté the Base

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and grated turmeric, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the pumpkin puree, chicken broth, diced apples, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  3. 3

    Blend the Bisque

    Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the mixture until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the bisque.

  4. 4

    Add Cream and Sage

    Stir in the heavy cream and chopped sage. Heat through for another 5 minutes, but do not boil.

  5. 5

    Prepare Confit of Chicken

    While the bisque simmers, prepare the confit chicken by slow-cooking chicken thighs in olive oil with salt and herbs until tender. Shred the chicken and set aside.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the pumpkin bisque into bowls, top with shredded confit chicken and optional chicken 'chicharrones' for added crunch.
