Savor the comforting flavors of autumn with this hearty Pumpkin and Salami Soup (Kürbissuppe mit Salami), a delightful twist on a classic pumpkin soup. Featuring a rich blend of creamy pumpkin, tender potatoes, and a hint of earthy carrot, this velvety soup is elevated by the smoky, crispy salami topping. A dash of nutmeg and a swirl of heavy cream add warmth and indulgence to every spoonful, while fresh parsley offers a burst of color and freshness. Perfect for chilly evenings, this German-inspired recipe is both easy to prepare and bursting with flavor, making it a go-to dish for cozy dinners or impressive gatherings. Serve it steaming hot with crusty bread for a truly satisfying meal that highlights the best of autumn’s bounty.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the pumpkin, potatoes, carrot, and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
While the soup simmers, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the salami and cook until crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease.
Once the vegetables are tender, use an immersion blender (or a regular blender in batches) to puree the soup until smooth.
Stir in the heavy cream, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to combine the flavors, but do not let it boil.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, and top each serving with crispy salami and fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve hot and enjoy this cozy, flavorful soup!
