; garnish
1/4 c Orange juice

Preheat the oven to 375 degree. Halve the pumpkin from top to bottom and
place it, cut side down, on an oiled baking sheet. Bake until the pumpkin

spoon, remove the seeds and discard. Scrape the pulp and reserve. Discard
the skin.

Melt remaining 1 tablespoon of the butter in a soup pot over medium heat.
Add the bacon and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions
are soft and the bacon is just turning golden, about 7 minutes. Add the
pumpkin and stock and simmer until the pumpkin falls apart, about 30
minutes. Let cool for about 20 minutes. In batches, puree the soup in a
blender on high speed, 3 minutes per batch, until very smooth. Strain
through a fine mesh strainer into a clean soup pot and add the cream,
orange juice, and nutmeg. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If the soup
is too thick, correct the consistency with additional water or stock. Chop
1tablespoon chipotle pepper. Whip 1cup cream to soft peak. Stir peppers
into cream. Ladle the hot soup bowls.

Spoon dollop of chipotle cream into soup.
