Pumpkin Soup is a creamy, comforting fall favorite made with pumpkin puree, warm spices, and a touch of cream. It’s easy to make, naturally vegetarian, and perfect for cozy dinners or festive gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
  • 3 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp ground ginger or 1 tsp curry powder
  • Optional garnish: pumpkin seeds, sour cream, or fresh herbs

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add pumpkin puree, broth, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes.
  6. Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth, or blend in batches.

  8. Serve warm, garnished with pumpkin seeds, cream, or herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Add cayenne or chili for a spicy version.

  • Substitute coconut milk for a dairy-free or vegan soup.
  • Make it thicker by reducing broth or adding potato or carrot.
