Your pumpkin soup will be delicious using the ingredients below and following the recipe step-by-step:
Ingredients
-
1 medium pumpkin (approximately 1.5 kg), peeled and cut into cubes
-
1 medium onion, chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
A pinch of nutmeg (optional)
-
Fresh cream or Greek yogurt for serving (optional)
-
Toasted pumpkin seeds for garnish (optional)
Preparation mode
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the pumpkin cubes to the pan and sauté for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour the vegetable or chicken broth over the squash in the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is very tender.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let the soup cool slightly. Then, use an immersion blender or regular blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can leave some of the pumpkin pieces whole.
- Season the soup with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve the soup hot, topped with a dollop of heavy cream or Greek yogurt, if desired. You can also add toasted pumpkin seeds for a crunchy garnish.
