1. In a 10-inch skillet, melt the butter or heat oil over medium-low

not brown, 6-7 minutes. Stir in 3 cups stock and let simmer,
partially covered, about 15 minutes. 2. Pour the tomatoes with their
juice into a food processor. Add the maple syrup or honey, and puree.
Add the pumpkin, and buzz again. Strain the stock, and add the
strained-out onions to the processor. Buzz again, and, if an extra
smooth soup is desired, put through a power strainer. 3. Add the
tomato-pumpkin puree to the stock. Season with the salt. Reheat, and
serve very hot, garnished with red pepper puree if desired. Serves
8-10 as a first course.
