Recipe Summary

Ingredients

• 2 cups pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
• Extra cream for garnish

Instructions

• In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

• Add the pumpkin puree and vegetable broth to the pot, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

• Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.

• Return the soup to the pot (if using a blender), then stir in the heavy cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

• Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a dollop of cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve warm.

Helpful Tips

• For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk.
• Feel free to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
• For a richer flavor, roast a fresh pumpkin before pureeing it.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Pairings

This Creamy Pumpkin Soup pairs wonderfully with a side of crusty garlic bread or a fresh green salad. For beverages, a glass of dry white wine or a cup of warm apple cider complements the soup beautifully.
