Ingredients

• 1 medium (~2 lbs) pumpkin (sugar pumpkin or Hokkaido)
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 medium carrot
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option)
• 2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil for a vegan alternative)
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0 optional toppings: toasted pumpkin seeds, a drizzle of cream, or crusty bread

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the pumpkin. Cut it in half, remove the seeds, and peel the skin if using a sugar pumpkin (Hokkaido pumpkin does not require peeling). Cut the pumpkin into roughly 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Peel and dice the onion and carrot. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the butter (or olive oil) over medium heat. Add the diced onion and carrot, and sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the pumpkin cubes and pour in the vegetable broth. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender.

Step 7

Once the pumpkin is soft, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a countertop blender and puree in batches.

Step 8

Return the smooth soup to the pot (if using a blender) and stir in the heavy cream, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or spices according to your preference.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with optional toppings such as toasted pumpkin seeds, a drizzle of cream, or alongside slices of crusty bread for dipping. Enjoy your comforting bowl of Marianne’s Pumpkin Soup!
