Ingredients
1 can (15 oz / 425 g) pumpkin puree
4 cups (960 ml) vegetable broth
½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
1 medium onion (150 g), chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp (2 g) ground cinnamon
½ tsp (1 g) ground nutmeg
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add onion and garlic, sauté 4–5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in pumpkin puree, broth, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring to a gentle boil.
Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
Stir in cream, then season with salt and pepper.
Use an immersion blender to puree until silky smooth (or carefully blend in batches).
Return to the pot, adjust the seasoning, and reheat gently before serving.
Garnish with a swirl of cream, fresh herbs, or pumpkin seeds if desired.
Notes
Sauté onions until golden for deeper flavor.
Add more broth for a lighter soup, or more cream for extra richness.
Spice it up with cayenne or curry powder.
For extra velvety texture, blend in a high-speed blender.
Garnish for presentation: cream swirl, pumpkin seeds, or thyme.
