Pumpkin Soup Makes 8 or more servings
This soup, from the former, long-time food editor of The New York Times, adds an interesting ingredient for texture: rice.

2½ pounds pumpkin, with skin and seeds 1 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter 1 cup heavy cream
1 cup finely chopped onion ¼ tablespoon grated nutmeg
1 cup water 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1 cup chicken broth ½ cup rice
Salt and pepper 1 cup water

Scrape away seeds and inside fibers of the pumpkin. Cut or pare away outside skin of pumpkin. Cut pumpkin into 1½-inch cubes. There should be about 6 cups.

Heat the butter in a kettle and add the onion. Cook briefly. Add pumpkin. Add the water and broth, salt and pepper. Bring to the boil and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Using a food processor, food mill or blender, purée the pumpkin mixture, liquid and all. Return the mixture to a clean kettle.

Add milk and cream, nutmeg, cayenne and salt and pepper to taste. Meanwhile, combine the rice and water in a saucepan. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 2 minutes. Drain well. Add the rice to the soup and continue to simmer until the rice is tender.
