  • About

PART OF: NUTRITION SERVICES FOR CANCER PATIENTS > ALL RECIPES

Prep Time:  20 minutes

Cook Time:  1 hour 45 minutes

Serves:  6 (½ cup each)

Per Serving:  114 calories, 4g fat, 1g saturated fat, 19g carbs, 4g protein, 2g fiber, 628mg sodium.

Ingredients: 

1 tablespoon peanut oil

⅓ cup finely chopped celery

⅓ cup finely chopped onions

1 teaspoon fresh thyme

2 tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds (baking time 1 hour), optional

1 medium size pumpkin (about 3 pounds)

Salt to taste

Freshly ground black pepper

1 bay leaf

About 1 quart low-sodium chicken broth  (canned, unless you have a handy homemade recipe)

Pumpkins Seeds:

Wash seeds under running water, dry them on paper towels.  Lightly oil a baking sheet and spread the seeds over it.  Bake the seeds at 250° until completely dried, at least 1 hour, shaking the pan occasionally.  Turn the heat up to 350° and brown the seeds lightly, about 5 minutes.  Cool, salt (optional).  Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container.

Per Serving: 1 teaspoon = 16 calories, 1g fat, 0g saturated fat, 1g carbs, 1g protein, 0g fiber, 98mg sodium

Cooking Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Pierce the pumpkin several times and cook in the microwave on high power for 3-5 minutes until the shell softens. Cut the pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds and reserve them for making the toasted pumpkin seeds. Place the pumpkin halves cut-side down on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 40 minutes. Let cool. Reserve the juice on the baking sheet.
  3. Scoop the pulp out of the pumpkin skin with a spoon and set aside.
  4. Heat the peanut oil in a deep saucepan over low heat. Add the onions, celery, thyme and bay leaf. Season lightly with salt and pepper and cook for 10 minutes.
  5. Add the pumpkin pulp and the chicken stock and bring to a boil over high heat.
  6. Reduce the heat and simmer until the onion and celery are completely tender, about 15 minutes.
  7. After removing the bay leaf, puree the mixture in a blender, in batches, being careful not to overfill the blender.
  8. Reheat the bisque. Add stock if it is too thick.
  9. Serve hot, sprinkled with toasted pumpkin seeds.
