Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups pumpkin purée
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Set a large pot over medium heat and warm the olive oil.
  2. Add chopped onions and sauté for 4–5 minutes until translucent. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  3. Add pumpkin purée, vegetable broth, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir to combine.
  4. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 15 minutes.
  5. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth (or transfer carefully to a blender in batches).
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream.
  7. Adjust seasoning if needed, then serve with a swirl of cream and fresh thyme.

Notes

  • Use roasted fresh pumpkin for deeper flavor.
  • Coconut cream works well as a dairy-free option.
  • To make it spicy, add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes.
  • For garnish, try toasted pumpkin seeds or a drizzle of chili oil.
