Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 15 ounces canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the canned pumpkin puree to the pot and stir to combine with the onion and garlic.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you do not have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. Stir in the maple syrup for a hint of sweetness.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with pumpkin seeds and freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
