Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams pumpkin puree
- 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 500 milliliters vegetable stock
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling, optional)
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds, toasted (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable stock, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches for blending.
Return the soup to the pot, if needed, and stir in the heavy cream. Warm the soup for another 2-3 minutes but do not let it boil.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or black pepper if desired.
Ladle the soup into bowls and, if desired, drizzle with olive oil and garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds.
Serve hot and enjoy your creamy pumpkin soup!
