INSTRUCTIONS
Makes 4 servings
In Australia, pumpkin, potatoes, onions, and parsnips are scented with
rosemary and garlic, and roasted alongside the national dish-a leg of lamb.
But here, the caramel richness of the pumpkin stands very well on its own.
1. Preheat oven to 425 F. Brush cut surfaces of pumpkin and onions with
oil, and place, cut sides up, on baking tray. Prick garlic several times
with a skewer, and place on baking tray. Sprinkle rosemary over all. Roast
vegetables until tender, about 45 minutes. (Pumpkin and onion should start
to look scorched around the edges.)
2. With towel-protected hands, cut garlic bulbs crosswise in half, and
squeeze roasted flesh of one head into bowl of food processor. Scoop
pumpkin from skins, and add to processor. Wizz vegetables until smooth,
adding a little of the stock, if necessary, to help the process.
3. Transfer puree to a large pot. Add stock, soy sauce, Worcestershire
sauce, almonds, and salt. Heat to a low simmer.
4. Toast or grill bread until golden. Squeeze garlic from remaining head,
and spread on toast. Ladle soup into bowls, and float a slice of garlic
toast in each one.
