Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground Italian sausage
• 1 medium Onion, diced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 15 ounces Canned pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground Italian sausage to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the pumpkin puree and chicken broth to the pot, stirring well to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, cream cheese, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the cream cheese is fully melted and the soup is smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Return the cooked sausage to the pot and stir to combine.

Step 9

Simmer the soup for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings if necessary.

Step 11

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm.
