This pumpkin soup is deliciously creamy and smooth. Tender onions and garlic give it depth of flavor, and it's lovely seasoned with fresh herbs and spices. It's served at our family's Thanksgiving dinner every year.
Ingredients You'll Need
2 cups chopped yellow onion
10 whole black peppercorns
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
3 cups pumpkin puree
4 cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons maple syrup (Optional)
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (Optional)
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (Optional)
½ cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is browned and softened, about 10 minutes. Add peppercorns, garlic, and thyme, and cook, stirring often, until fragrant and slightly browned, about 2 minutes.
Stir in pumpkin puree; cook, stirring occasionally, until puree turns a few shades darker, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken stock, maple syrup, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer over medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, and stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced and flavors meld, about 30 minutes.
Transfer soup to a blender in batches; secure lid on blender and remove center piece to allow steam to escape. Place a clean towel over opening; blend until smooth, about 30 seconds per batch. Return soup to the pot and stir in heavy cream. Cook over medium until heated through, about 4 minutes.
