Ingredients
- 400 grams pumpkin puree
- 1 medium onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 500 milliliters vegetable broth
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 2
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 3
Add the pumpkin puree to the pot and stir to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.
Step 4
Pour in the vegetable broth and stir. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Continue to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until creamy.
Step 7
Return the blended soup to the pot if necessary. Stir in the heavy cream and heat gently on low for 2 minutes, being careful not to let it boil.
Step 8
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Step 9
Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of cream, a sprinkle of nutmeg, or croutons if desired.
