Ingredients -  
   

6 Shallots, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
3 cups Chicken Broth
1/2 cup Acini di Pepe Pasta (very small, resembles rice)
1 1/2 cups canned Pumpkin
1/2 cup Light Cream
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan Cheese
1/3 cup chopped Fresh Dill
1/2 teaspoon Dry Mustard
Fresh Ground Black Pepper, to taste
Salt, to taste (optional)

In a large saucepan, cook the shallots in the Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil and butter until soft. Add the broth, bring to a boil, and add the pasta. Continue to cook about 5 minutes.

Stir in the pumpkin, cream, and grated Parmesan cheese. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and add the dill, mustard, pepper, and salt. Continue to cook over low heat for about 25 minutes. Serve hot.
