First, wash, peel and slice the pumpkin and beet root.  Add the pumpkin and beet to a baking dish with a chopped onion, a few bay leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.  Cover with foil and roast at 350F until the everything is tender.  Then, remove the bay leaves and puree the mix - adding water as necessary.  Season with salt and simmer to allow the flavours to develop.

Morel and Truffle Risotto

Such deep flavours!

Morels and truffles are both pricy, so I don't make this often.  All the same, it's a worthwhile treat!
