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.

30-60 minutes
ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, chopped
6 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
2 teaspoons hot sauce
2 limes, juiced
2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
2 scallions, chopped
directions
Melt the butter in a heavy bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 10 minutes.
Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the flour all at once and cook until the mixture has a toasty aroma.
Whisk the stock into the flour mixture in a slow, steady stream until smooth. Add the heavy cream and peanut butter to the soup and stir to combine.
Stir in the hot sauce and lime juice and season, to taste. Garnish with the chopped peanuts and scallions.
