Recipe originally by Jenni Hulet via The Urban Poser

Ingredients

• 4 tbsp ghee or other oil

• 1 cup shallots, sliced
• 2 1/2 cups cooked pumpkin (not rotten)
• 3 cups unsalted chicken broth
• 1 cup asparagus, chopped

• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 lb crab meat (not horseshoe… we looked it up… not really edible :/ )
• 1 cup full fat coconut milk, canned
• chives (garnish)
• pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the ghee/oil in pan over medium heat. Add the prepared garlic and shallots, gently frying them till the shallots are golden. Transfer the shallots, garlic and any leftover oil into a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Using a food processor or immersion blender, puree the cooked pumpkin, broth and onion mixture till mostly smooth. Transfer to a soup pot/wok over medium heat and slowly bring to a simmer.
3. Fry the sliced mushrooms in the remaining 2 tablespoons ghee/oil, till they are golden. Add the mushrooms, asparagus, marjoram, salt (omit if using salted broth) and half of the crab meat to the soup.
4. Transfer the soup to a crock pot set on low and slow cook for about 3-4 hours or let it simmer on the stove for about one hour instead. However the flavor is much richer when slow cooked.
