Directions:

1. Sautéing the Aromatics:

Let’s start with the preparation of Easy 15-Minute Pumpkin Soup by preparing the aromatics.

  • Heat the olive oil or butter in a medium pot or saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and cook until it softens, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

2. Simmering the Soup:

  • Add the can of pumpkin puree, vegetable broth, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper to the pot.
  • Stir everything together until the pumpkin is fully dissolved and the soup is a uniform color.
  • Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

3. Finishing the Easy 15-Minute Pumpkin Soup:

  • Carefully remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup directly in the pot until it is completely smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender and blend until smooth

Important if using a regular blender or a food processor:
Be careful to leave the blender or food processor partially open, covered with a kitchen towel, to prevent the accumulation of pressure that can lead to burns.

  • Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk until well combined and the soup is velvety while cooking for an extra 2 – 5 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving.
  • Optionally, serve with an extra drizzle of heavy cream or olive oil, as well as with roasted pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
