Ingredients

2 Tbsp. olive oil 2 oz. prosciutto, thinly sliced and cut into thin strips 1 yellow onion, diced into 1/4-inch pieces

1/2 tsp. Minced Garlic

1 (28 oz.) can pure pumpkin puree 8 cups chicken stock

1 1/2 Tbsp. Coastal Bay Seafood Seasoning

1/8 tsp. Ground Nutmeg

1/2 tsp. Fine White Sarawak Pepper

1/2 cup heavy cream (optional) 1/2 cup shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese 2 Tbsp. chopped Italian parsley Salt, to taste

Mayan Sea Salt

Directions

Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large, deep pan. Add prosciutto strips and sauté over medium-high heat until crisp, about 2 min. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Lower heat to medium, add onion and sauté until tender, but not brown, about 3 to 4 min. Add garlic and cook until aromatic, about 1 min. Stir in pumpkin, broth, Coastal Bay Seafood Seasoning, nutmeg and white pepper. Bring to a boil, then carefully transfer to a 5 to 6 quart slow cooker, cover and cook 3 to 4 hours on high or 6 to 8 hours on low. When ready to serve, stir in cream (if using) and Parmesan and heat through, about 5 min, then salt to taste. Garnish with the crispy prosciutto and fresh parsley.

Recipe Notes

This recipe yields a slightly thin soup. Use less broth if you like a thicker soup or bulk up the soup by serving it over cooked rice or other grains. It makes a great base to add cooked beans, ham or sausage for an even heartier meal.
