Savor the flavors of fall with this creamy autumn pumpkin soup, combining fresh pumpkin, caramelized onions, and a medley of warm spices. Easy to make and full of comforting warmth, it's the perfect meal for a cozy night in.
Melt the unsalted butter in a large pot over medium heat.
2
Add the sliced yellow onions to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 15 minutes.
3
Add the minced garlic, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, and ground allspice to the onions, stirring constantly for one minute.
4
Add the fresh pumpkin cubes, chicken stock, and water, then stir to combine.
5
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the pumpkin is soft.
6
Turn off the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender and puree in batches.
7
Stir in the heavy cream and adjust salt and spices to taste.
8
Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
