Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams pumpkin puree
- 1 medium onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 500 milliliters vegetable broth
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the pumpkin puree to the pot and stir to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth and stir. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Continue to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until creamy.
Return the blended soup to the pot if necessary. Stir in the heavy cream and heat gently on low for 2 minutes, being careful not to let it boil.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of cream, a sprinkle of nutmeg, or croutons if desired.
