Next, remove the seeds & soak them in bowl filled with water to separate the seeds from the pulp (This simultaneously plumps up the seeds) - This can later be used to make Spicy Pepitas for a light snack or to garnish your bisque (Recipe below)
Chop pumpkin into cube size chunks & place in slow-cooker until tender.
Place slow-cooked pumpkin cubes into blender & slowly add in water until the soup becomes a creamy consistency.
Add 1 tablespoon fresh ground cinnamon; 1 tablespoon Kauai Farmacy Curry powder (or to taste); 2 table spoons local, raw, organic honey; 5-6 fresh thyme sprigs stripped; 1 fresh Hawaiian chili pepper (remove the seeds before adding); Add Hawai'ian sea salt to taste.
Blend until all ingredients are equally distributed & texture is smooth.
Garnish with fresh Thyme & chili pepper - Alternative option: garnish with home-made Pepitas
