How to Make Creamy Pumpkin Soup
This creamy pumpkin soup is a perfect dish to cozy up with during the fall season. To start, heat olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing them until soft and fragrant. Once they’ve softened, add in the pumpkin puree, vegetable broth, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture, bringing it to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Next, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender in batches to achieve the same texture. Once the soup is smooth, stir in heavy cream for richness and simmer for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
