Print Recipe

A creamy, comforting pumpkin soup perfect for chilly autumn days, made with fresh pumpkin, warm spices, and a touch of cream for richness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: toasted pumpkin seeds, fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in pumpkin puree, vegetable broth, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer soup in batches to a blender and puree.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through but do not boil.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with toasted pumpkin seeds and fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or cashew cream. Roasting fresh pumpkin before pureeing enhances the flavor. This soup can be made ahead and reheated gently.
