Ingredients
- (1) Large Pumpkin
- (1/2 Cup) Butter
- (1 Cup) White Onion, Diced
- (1/2 Cup) Italian Bread Crumbs
- (1 Cup) Flour
- (1 Tbs) Celery Seed
- (1 lb) Italian Sausage
- (1/2 Cup) Swiss cheese, Grated

- (1 tsp) Thyme
- (1 tsp) Salt
- (1/4 cup) Dried Parsley
- (2 Cups) Fresh Kale, Chopped
- (1 Cup) Heavy Cream
Directions
- Cut lid out of pumpkin. As you are cutting around the stem, angle the knife towards the stem so the ring on the inside of the pulp is smaller than the ring on the outside of the pumpkin. This will make it so the lid won't fall in when it is replaced for baking.
- Preheat oven to 400. Remove seeds.
- Rub the inside of the lid with 1 Tbsp butter.
- In a skillet, melt ½ cup butter and sauté onions in the melted butter until tender.
- Add bread crumbs, flour, and celery seed. Stir until coated and cook for 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and pour into pumpkin.
- Add sausage, grated cheeses, chicken stock, thyme, salt, parsley, and kale.
- Put lid on pumpkin and bake on cookie sheet for 1 ½ hours then carefully remove from oven.
- In a medium saucepan, bring cream to a simmer. Add to contents of pumpkin. Stir well.
- When serving, scrape sides of pumpkin with the ladle or a spoon so that bits of pumpkin are added to the soup.
