A creamy and comforting pumpkin soup made with fresh pumpkin, aromatic onions and garlic, cooked in vegetable broth and finished with a touch of heavy cream. Perfect for a cozy autumn meal.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small pumpkin (about 2–3 lbs), peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Sauté onions and garlic: Add diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and become fragrant.
  3. Add pumpkin: Stir in the cubed pumpkin pieces and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to begin softening the pumpkin.
  4. Add broth and simmer: Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for 20 minutes until the pumpkin is tender enough to easily pierce with a fork.
  5. Blend the soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, blend in batches using a regular blender and return to the pot.
  6. Finish with cream and seasoning: Stir in ⅓ cup of heavy cream for richness. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
  7. Serve: Ladle the warm pumpkin soup into bowls and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or cashew cream.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more vegetable broth or water when blending.
  • Roasting the pumpkin before cooking can add a deeper flavor.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or a swirl of cream for an elegant touch.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
