Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups pumpkin purée (canned or fresh)
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (for garnish, optional)
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds (toasted, for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
Add the pumpkin purée and diced apples to the pot, stirring to combine.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, or until the apples are soft and tender.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until creamy.
Return the soup to low heat and stir in the heavy cream, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve the soup warm in bowls. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle toasted pumpkin seeds on top for garnish, if desired.
