butternut squash for the pumpkin.
Â
INSTRUCTIONS:
⢠If using fresh pumpkin, rinse the shell well and scoop and slice it in half crosswise. Scoop out seeds and strings. Place the two halves flesh side down on a baking sheet and bake for one hour or until pumpkin is fork tender. Scoop out flesh and puree in a blender. You may need to add a little olive oil to help blend.
⢠In a large soup pot, sauté the onions in a tablespoon of the cannabutter over medium heat for three minutes.
⢠Stir in the flour, mixing thoroughly.
⢠Add the pumpkin puree and the vegetable stock. (Add optional vermouth or sherry at this time).
⢠Cover the pot and reduce heat. Let simmer for 15 minutes. Cook a little longer if using canned puree.
⢠Add ginger, nutmeg, and pepper and stir in.
⢠Combine the egg yolks and the cream. Spoon a little hot soup into the egg-cream mixture to prevent curdling. Add this mixture to the soup and stir.
⢠Continue heating the soup on low heat. Be sure to not let it boil.
⢠Serve warm.
Store in an airtight container. Freezing is fine.

Main Dishes
Why not just call it the main event? These recipes are not for the faint of heart. They are fabulous enough to wow your dinner guests or simple enough to prepare and freeze in portions for later use. This is a very comforting set of recipes that please your palate and leave your mind and body at ease. An entree is a commitment, so be sure to manage your dosage accordingly. As a guide, I have suggested small portions. I like to think of these recipes as a âbest ofâ version of my life cooking.
Â
Enjoy them, as I have over the years, but as main courses, the portions may be larger so you may want to reduce the dosage.
