Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 15 ounces (canned or homemade) pumpkin puree
• 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 pepper (finely chopped, adjust to taste) chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups heavy cream or coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) black pepper
• 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until soft and translucent.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 3

Stir in the pumpkin puree, chicken or vegetable broth, chipotle pepper, cumin, and cinnamon. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk. Season the soup with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with pumpkin seeds and chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve warm.
