Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Pumpkin puree
- 3 cups Vegetable stock
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 large, diced Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped for garnish Chives
- 1 package Refrigerated breadstick dough
- 2 tablespoons, grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon, finely chopped Rosemary
- 12 whole sticks Pretzel sticks
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the pumpkin puree, vegetable stock, nutmeg, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Blend the soup with an immersion blender (or transfer it carefully to a traditional blender) until smooth.
Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 5 more minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the refrigerated breadstick dough and cut it into thin strips, about 6 inches long. Twist each strip to resemble broomstick bristles.
Sprinkle the dough with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped rosemary. Bake the breadsticks on a lined baking sheet for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
Once the breadsticks have cooled slightly, attach a pretzel stick to one end of each breadstick to form a broomstick shape.
Serve the pumpkin soup hot, garnished with chopped chives, and enjoy alongside the breadstick broomsticks for dipping.
