Creamy Delight: Homemade Pumpkin Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium-sized pumpkin (about 3 pounds), peeled, seeded, and diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk (or heavy cream for a richer flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add diced pumpkin to the pot. Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic.
  3. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, ensuring the pumpkin is fully submerged. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer until the pumpkin is tender, about 20-25 minutes.
  4. Once the pumpkin is cooked through and soft, remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.
  5. Return the pureed soup to the pot if necessary. Place the pot back on the stove over low heat.
  6. Stir in the coconut milk (or heavy cream), ground cumin, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to incorporate the flavors.
  7. Once the soup is heated through and well-seasoned, remove from heat. Ladle the pumpkin soup into bowls.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy delight of homemade pumpkin soup.
