Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 quart chicken stock
1 cup whipping cream

6 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons olive oil

Place this mixture in a 4-quart saucepan and add the remaining stock. Simmer for 20 minutes and add the cream.
Whisk in the roux and simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add pepper to taste and the remaining chopped olives, Tabasco, and dry sherry.
