- 5 shiitake mushrooms
- 2 shallots, cut into quarters
- 1 clove of garlic
- 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 5 cups of vegetable broth
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.
- Cut the pumpkin in half, then scoop out its guts with a serrated grapefruit spoon. Cut the pumpkin into 2 inch slices.
- Place pumpkin slices, whole mushrooms, cut shallots and garlic onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, being careful not to overlap. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 15 minutes, flip pumpkin slices, then bake for another 15 minutes until skin is blackened and blistery.
- Let pumpkin slices cool, then peel off the skins and discard.
- Place roasted veggies all in a large pot over medium heat. Add two cups of broth, then use an immersion blender to blend until everything reaches a thick and smooth pumpkin mash. Slowly add in the remaining 3 cups of broth, blending until smooth.
