Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups pumpkin puree (fresh roasted or canned, organic recommended)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Toasted pumpkin seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Fresh parsley or thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
  • A drizzle of cream or coconut milk (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the unsalted butter over medium heat in a large heavy-bottomed pot. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until translucent and soft, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of cayenne pepper if using. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to let the spices bloom.
  4. Slowly add the vegetable or chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove the pot from heat and puree the soup using an immersion blender until smooth and velvety. If using a countertop blender, blend in batches carefully.
  6. Return the pureed soup to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk, season with salt and pepper to taste, and warm gently without boiling.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of cream or coconut milk if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

If the soup is too thick after blending, add more broth a splash at a time until desired consistency is reached. Blend hot soup in small batches and vent the blender lid slightly to avoid pressure buildup. Add cream off heat to prevent curdling. Soup can be frozen without cream and cream added fresh when reheating.
