Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pumpkin puree
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 small Onion, chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh sage
Instructions
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg, cooking for another minute until the spices become fragrant.
Add the pumpkin puree and chicken broth to the pot. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and continue to simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Simmer the soup for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh sage for a pop of color and flavor.
