Ingredients

• 2 cups pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: pumpkin seeds for garnish

How to Make Creamy Pumpkin Soup

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until translucent.
2. Add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary to the pot. Sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Stir in the pumpkin puree and vegetable broth. Mix well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
4. Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
5. Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a blender.
6. Return the pot to the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve hot, garnished with a swirl of cream, fresh rosemary, and pumpkin seeds if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• For a deeper flavor, consider roasting the pumpkin before pureeing it.
• Adjust the thickness of the soup by adding more or less broth based on your preference.
• For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes during cooking.

Easy Variations

• Substitute half of the heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
• Add a touch of nutmeg or cinnamon for an extra layer of warmth.
• Incorporate sautéed leeks for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• Crusty bread or a warm baguette for dipping
• A fresh garden salad with a light vinaigrette
• Grilled cheese sandwiches for a classic pairing
• Roasted vegetables for a hearty side
