Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Pumpkin puree
- 500 milliliters Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 125 milliliters Low-fat milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil

Instructions
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable broth, and low-fat milk. Whisk until smooth.
Stir in the onion powder, garlic powder, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl loosely with a microwave-safe lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
Microwave the mixture on high for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the bowl, stir the soup, and microwave for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the soup is heated through.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir in the olive oil to add a touch of creaminess.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning, if needed. Ladle the soup into serving bowls.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
