Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 15 ounces canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the canned pumpkin puree to the pot and stir to combine with the onion and garlic.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you do not have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, then return it to the pot.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. Stir in the maple syrup for a hint of sweetness.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with pumpkin seeds and freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
