Whip up this easy pumpkin soup as a starter for a dinner party or a light supper when you need a bit of comfort - it has a lovely silky texture

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Lunch, Soup, Supper

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tbsp olive oil
2 onions, finely chopped
1kg pumpkin or squash (try kabocha), peeled, deseeded and chopped into chunks
700ml vegetable stock or chicken stock
150ml double cream
2 tbsp olive oil
4 slices wholemeal seeded bread, crusts removed
handful pumpkin seeds

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan, then gently cook 2 finely chopped onions for 5 mins, until soft but not coloured.
  • Add 1kg pumpkin or squash, cut into chunks, to the pan, then carry on cooking for 8-10 mins, stirring occasionally until it starts to soften and turn golden.
  • Pour 700ml vegetable or chicken stock into the pan and season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins until the squash is very soft.
  • Pour 150ml double cream into the pan, bring back to the boil, then purée with a hand blender. For an extra-velvety consistency you can pour the soup through a fine sieve. The soup can now be frozen for up to 2 months.
  • To make the croutons: cut 4 slices wholemeal seeded bread into small squares.
  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan, then fry the bread until it starts to become crisp.
  • Add a handful of pumpkin seeds to the pan, then cook for a few mins more until they are toasted. These can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container.
  • Reheat the soup if needed, taste for seasoning, then serve scattered with croutons and seeds and drizzled with more olive oil, if you want.

CREAMY PUMPKIN SOUP



Creamy Pumpkin Soup image

This recipe turns canned pumpkin purée into a sublimely creamy, aromatic soup that makes for an elegant first course or a satisfying lunch on a cold day. While the combination of pumpkin and fall spices can easily veer in the direction of dessert, the addition of fresh rosemary, garlic, caramelized onions and curry powder plants this soup firmly in the savory camp. Finally, to make this recipe vegan, substitute olive oil for the butter, full-fat coconut milk for the heavy cream, and vegetable broth for the chicken broth. If time and availability allow, consider roasting your own sugar pumpkin for this recipe: The soup will have a deeper, more complex flavor (see Tip).

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium yellow onions, halved and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh rosemary (or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
4 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup fresh apple cider (or 3/4 cup apple juice)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, plus more as needed
2 (15-ounce) cans pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling), or 3 cups homemade pumpkin purée (see Tip)
1 teaspoon mild curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, plus more for serving
Pinch of ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more as needed
1/3 cup heavy cream, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 fresh sage leaves

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are lightly caramelized, about 15 to 20 minutes. If the onions begin browning too quickly, turn the heat to low.
  • Add the maple syrup and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have darkened in color, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the cider and cook, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is reduced by about half.
  • Add the broth, pumpkin purée, curry powder, nutmeg, cloves, salt and pepper, stir to combine, and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook at a full simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pot to prevent scorching.
  • Working in batches, purée the soup in a blender or food processor and return to the pot (or use an immersion blender). Bring back to a simmer over medium heat, then turn off the heat and stir in the cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add more broth if the soup is too thick.
  • To make the optional fried sage topping, melt the butter in a small or medium skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the sage leaves and fry until just crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or a fork, transfer the sage leaves to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the butter left behind in the pan.
  • To serve, spoon the soup into individual bowls. Top each serving with 2 fried sage leaves and a drizzle of the reserved butter (if using), or a swirl of cream and pinch of nutmeg. Serve hot.

This is my favorite soup! It's warm and comforting on a chilly Fall evening. I adapted it from a recipe I found on another website years ago. Unlike the original recipe, it's made with milk or soy milk instead of heavy cream, so it's healthy and can be dairy-free!

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: Use a sugar pumpkin or a pie pumpkin for the best flavor. These pumpkins are smaller and sweeter than other varieties.
  • Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to blend. You can roast the pumpkin in the oven or on a sheet pan over a grill.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered for just until the vegetables are tender. Overcooking the soup will make it mushy and bland.
  • Garnish the soup: Before serving, garnish the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped chives, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Cream of pumpkin soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. It is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin and is a healthy and flavorful soup that the whole family will enjoy.
