I ran across this low-carb version while browsing cookbooks today.

Recipe is posted on A.F.D.

How could pumpkin soup be low in carbs?

Mine is - but my pumpkin is your winter squash.

Oddly, although you don't call it pumpkin, it's from the
Americas.

A large bowl for lunch tastes wonderful without spiking me
at all.

Really complicated. Cut into chunks, peel, bake in the oven
until starting to caramelise, simmer in good chicken stock
with nutmeg (critical ingredient), basil and ground black
pepper for an hour, blend to a puree, adjust viscosity with
boiling water, serve with a dollop of heavy cream. Bliss:-)

And freeze the leftovers for later nuking for lunch.
Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

Well, I don't think I'd like that soup since I don't like anything with
cream in it.  I just got some squash in my produce box called Delicia or
something like that.  They have he same green and yellow coloration on the
outside, but I've yet to try them.  Last year I got something called Delica
squash.  It was pale yellow on the outside and tasted really good when
roasted.  But so far it is the only squash I've tried that I liked.

The cream is just a garnish for extra flavour. Try it
without the cream. Don't forget the nutmeg - just a generous
grating, but it and the black pepper are critical
ingredients.

I think I'll pass.  Don't care for any squash except for the Delica and I
didn't care for that enough that I'd go out and buy it again.  But if one
appeared in my produce box, I'd eat it.  Don't care for nutmeg either.

You're not supposed to eat them whole! :->

The only time I had whole ones was in a pomander.  Just don't like the
flavor of nutmeg.

Sounds very tasty. I like the idea of caramelizing the squash.
That would work with our version of pumpkin also.

Two points on the cream. Add it at the last minute before
serving, so it isn't added to any that you freeze. Don't mix
it in, but create a swirl as you add it. It looks good, and
you get an interesting taste and texture sensation as you
eat a spoonful of mainly soup with a lacing of cream.
This isn't my soup, but the picture shows my meaning:

Curcubita is all the winter squashes, as in the squashes would keep for
a good portion of the winter. The one you show in the link is, I believe
a buttercup of some type. There's lots of winter squashes. Hubbard,
acorn, butternut, etc.

It's 9 grams of carbs per serving. The pumpkin is diluted out with chicken
stock. The rich "mouth feel" depends on the half-and-half you add at the
end.

Ah, I'll pass then.  Don't care for half and half either.

It's high in fiber, so low in net carbs.
