Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Vegetables

Start by peeling the pumpkin, potatoes, carrot, and onion. Cut them into pieces and place them in a large pot.

Add enough salted water to cover the vegetables, followed by your choice of spices, a bay leaf, and the olive oil. Cook until tender.

Step 2

Blend the Soup Base

Once the vegetables are cooked, carefully drain any excess liquid.

You can also roast the vegetables for extra flavor, as per my previous recipe!

Use a blender to purée the cooked vegetables until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Combine Ingredients

Add the cream and nutmeg to the blended vegetables. Carefully mix until well combined.

This adds a rich flavor that everyone will love!

Step 4

Serve the Soup

To serve, ladle the creamy pumpkin soup into bowls. Garnish with a swirl of cream, some finely chopped leek, a sprinkle of seed mix, and a touch of microgreens for an elegant presentation.

For a special treat, feel free to add freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Servings

When it comes to serving your delightful pumpkin cream soup, think beyond just a bowl. Consider setting a cozy atmosphere with soft lighting and warm blankets. Pour your soup into beautiful bowls and add a swirl of cream on top for a stunning presentation. 🌟

For extra flair, garnish with sliced leeks and a sprinkle of seed mix—this adds both texture and visual appeal. Want to elevate it even more? A bit of freshly grated Parmesan cheese can take your dish to a gourmet level! 🧀👌

Pair your soup with some rustic bread rolls or hearty croutons for added crunch. If you’re feeling adventurous, serve it in mini hollowed-out pumpkins for a fun twist—perfect for fall gatherings! 🎃

Equipment

Blender

The key to achieving that smooth and creamy texture is a quality blender. A high-speed blender will work best to puree your vegetables to perfection.

Variations

If you're looking to mix things up or cater to different dietary needs, we've got you covered! For a gluten-free version, simply ensure all your seasonings and additions are certified gluten-free. Most ingredients listed are naturally gluten-free, so you’re already halfway there! 🌾❌

For those following a vegan lifestyle, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or cashew cream for that rich texture and flavor. Make sure to use vegetable broth instead of any animal-based products. Your soup will be just as creamy and delicious! 🌱✨

Faq

Can I use frozen pumpkin for this recipe?
Yes, frozen pumpkin works great! Just ensure it’s fully thawed and drained to avoid excess moisture in your soup.
How can I make the soup spicier?
If you enjoy a kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some red pepper flakes during cooking for that spicy warmth!
Can I add other vegetables to the soup?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with veggies like sweet potatoes or parsnips for different flavors.
What's the best way to store leftover soup?
Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the soup in portion sizes for longer storage!
How do I know when the soup is done cooking?
When the vegetables are fork-tender and easily mashable, you’re good to go! Just give them a taste to ensure they’re flavorful.

Certainly! Just scale up the ingredients accordingly and use a larger pot for cooking.
