Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they become translucent and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add Pumpkin and Broth: Stir in the pumpkin puree and vegetable broth, mixing well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Simmer Soup: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer gently for about 15 minutes so the flavors meld together.
  4. Puree Soup: Use an immersion blender directly in the pot to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until creamy.
  5. Finish Soup: Stir in the heavy cream and ground nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
  6. Warm Through: Heat the soup gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, just until warmed through. Do not let it boil to prevent the cream from curdling.
  7. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with a pinch of nutmeg or a dollop of cream if desired. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or ginger.
  • The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • If you prefer a thinner soup, add more vegetable broth to reach your desired consistency.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree by roasting and pureeing pumpkin chunks for best flavor.
