Instructions

  • Peel and dice shallots, carrots and pumpkin. (Make sure to scoop out all the seeds and springy insides of the pumpkin too.) Set side.
  • Melt butter in a medium pot, over medium heat.
  • Add diced shallot and saute until fragrant. Add carrots and pumpkin, stir well and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add pressed garlic and stir well.
  • Sprinkle flour, stir until combined.
  • Add pumpkin ale, while stirring, and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring slowly.
  • Add Worcestershire sauce, broth, salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until pumpkin is soft.
  • Stir in thyme, heavy cream and cheese.
  • Transfer soup to the blender and puree until smooth.
  • Soup is ready to serve, or you can transfer it back into the pot (not over heat) to keep warm while making grilled cheese.
