Published 10/24/2024 This isn’t our first rodeo when it comes to pumpkin soup! We made this incredible Creamy Pumpkin Wild Rice Soup a while back, but it has got a lot going on. This time around, we’re bringing you a simplified version that’s just as tasty and even easier to make. And oooof! It was so good that I made a big batch and ate it for lunch every day for a week. Made all in one Dutch oven, all you need to do is layer up the flavors into a broth, blend it all together with some pumpkin puree, and add in a little cream at the end. It’s what autumn dreams are made of!
Creamy Pumpkin Soup Recipe – What You Need
Onions & garlic: You can’t start a soup without aromatics. They are the base of all soup bases! Carrots: Carrots add a natural sweetness and great texture to the soup. Herbs & spices: We used fresh thyme, ground cloves, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper for some heat. Chicken broth: Chicken broth helps to round out the flavors and get this soup to the perfect consistency. Pumpkin puree: Nothing tastes as good as pureed pumpkin in soup, especially when it’s creamy. Heavy cream: Heavy cream adds richness and a velvety texture to the soup. Mmm. Pepitas: Make sure your pepitas are roasted and salted for a little crunch and saltiness to top off your soup. High-speed blender: We used a Vitamix to blend up this soup because it gets it ultra creamy and smooth, but any high-speed blender will do the trick.
What if I don’t have a high-speed blender?
If you don’t have a high-speed blender, you also have the option to use an immersion blender in step #4 instead. Dutch Oven
Can I make this recipe for creamy pumpkin soup vegan?
Sure! You can easily make this recipe vegan by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
