 Bon appétit!

ingredients:

  • 1 pack of bakerly brioche rolls
  • 5-10 cheese slices
  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup grated yellow onion
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

instructions:

  1. In a large pot add the butter, onion, and garlic. Sauté over medium-high heat for 5 minutes to allow the onions to become soft and translucent.
  2. Whisk in the pumpkin puree and let it cook for 3 minutes with the onion/garlic mixture. Whisk in the chicken broth and spices. Bring the mixture to a simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the cream and simmer for 2 minutes. Give it a taste to see if needs more salt and pepper.
  4. Make the brioche rolls croutons: While the soup cools make the grilled cheese croutons. Heat a pan over medium heat. Spread butter to the outside of 2 slices bakerly brioche rolls.
  5. Place one of the slices of brioche rolls into the pan. Top with a few slices of cheese. Then, top with the other slice of bread with the butter side on top. Cover with a lid, cook for 3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the outside is crispy.
  6. Remove from the pan and cut into bite size pieces. Spoon the soup into a bowl and top with the croutons.
  7. The last step is to enjoy. Bon appétit!
