How To
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C.
2. Place the diced pumpkin into a baking dish, drizzle it with coconut oil, salt, and pepper, and roast it for 30-40 minutes.
3. In a large saucepan on medium heat, melt the MagicalButter.
4. Once your MagicalButter is magically bubbling, sauté the onions, carrots, and sage for about 10 minutes.
5. Remove the saucepan from heat, and empty it into your MagicalButter machine with the rest of your ingredients, except the cream and bourbon.
6. Press the Temperature button, and select 160°F/71°C; then press the 1 Hour/Oil button.
7. When the cycle is finished, return the soup to the saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the bourbon, and cook the soup for 5 minutes.
8. Add the cream, and simmer on low for 5 more minutes. Stir constantly—do not let it boil!
9. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top your Drunken Pumpkin Soup with toasted pumpkin seeds and truffle popcorn. Add bourbon (optional), and stir. Remove from heat, serve, and enjoy!
