Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp butter (or olive oil for dairy-free)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 medium carrot, sliced
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and cubed
  • 3 cups pumpkin purée (canned or fresh roasted)
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegan)
  • 1 cup heavy cream, coconut milk, or oat milk
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp salt (to taste)
  • ½ tsp black pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh sage or parsley, for garnish
  • Pumpkin seeds (pepitas), toasted, for topping

Instructions

1. Heat butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrot, and potato. Cook for 5–6 minutes until onion is soft and fragrant.

2. Stir in pumpkin purée and cook for 1 minute to blend flavors.

3. Pour in broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes until vegetables are tender.

4. Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree soup until smooth. (Or carefully transfer in batches to a blender.)

5. Return soup to pot and stir in cream (or coconut/oat milk). Adjust thickness with extra broth if needed.

6. Season with cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust as desired.

7. Ladle into bowls. Garnish with fresh herbs, cream swirl, and pumpkin seeds. Serve hot with crusty bread.

Notes

Substitutions: Use butternut squash or sweet potatoes instead of pumpkin.

Make it spicy: Add curry paste, chili flakes, or smoked paprika.

Vegan-friendly: Use olive oil + veggie broth + coconut or oat milk.

Storage: Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.

Pro tip: Always vent your blender lid slightly to avoid a “pumpkin lava” explosion.
