Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, gently sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. This step helps to develop the base flavor of the soup.
  2. Add Pumpkin and Broth: Stir in the pumpkin puree and pour in the broth. Mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
  3. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook uncovered for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the soup to heat through thoroughly.
  4. Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until velvety.
  5. Add Cream and Adjust Seasoning: Stir in the heavy cream to enrich the soup, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Warm the soup for another 2-3 minutes on low heat without boiling once the cream is added.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cream with coconut milk or a plant-based cream alternative.
  • You can add warming spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, or ginger to enhance the flavor profile.
  • Serve with crusty bread or a drizzle of pumpkin seed oil for extra richness.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
