Time 25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped, about 1/2 cup
3 cups vegetable broth
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
1 1/2 cups skim milk
2 tablespoons prepared polenta, creamy
1 tablespoon honey

1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 pinch salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.

  • Heat the broth in a good-sized pot, add pumpkin slowly, and bring to a partial boil.

  • Make sure that the ingredients do not clump but are spread throughout the soup.
  • Cook for about 5 minutes or longer until all ingredients have been thoroughly mixed and dissolved and so the soup is thoroughly heated.

EASY CROCK POT PUMPKIN SOUP

Make and share this Easy Crock Pot Pumpkin Soup recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Tina.G.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 5h7m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 fresh pumpkin (doesn't matter what type)
4 -5 medium size potatoes (or for a sweeter soup, sweet potato)
2 chicken stock cubes (can be beef, chicken or veg, I just use it instead of salt) or 2 vegetable bouillon cubes (can be beef, chicken or veg, I just use it instead of salt)
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon really to taste mixed Italian herbs
2 large garlic cloves
3 small onions, diced

Steps:

  • Roughly chop the pumpkin - most pumpkins you can leave the skin on because the crock pot cooks over such a long period - and place in the crock pot.
  • Chop potatoes up into cubes, dice onions, place in crock pot.
  • Put remaining ingredients in crock pot.
  • If you don't want very thick pumpkin soup, add some water (careful - crock pots don't lose much water).
  • Turn crock pot to auto - I usually either put it on before I go to bed for the next morning, or when I get up in the morning for that evening's meal.
  • Pumpkin and potatoes should be very soft when ready for the next step.
  • Using either a blender or a hand held barmixer, blend until very smooth.
  • Serve with crusty bread, topped with grated cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
  • This soup freezes very well, and lasts a decent length of time in the fridge. I do find that it will need some water added if you freeze or refrigerate it.
  • For Vegetarian use only the Vegetable broth.

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 first: Roasting the pumpkin before pureeing it intensifies its flavor and makes it more velvety smooth.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the backbone of the soup, so use a good quality one. You can make your own or use a store-bought brand that you trust.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be hot and bubbly, but not boiling. Overcooking will make the soup watery and bland.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
  • Garnish the soup: A sprinkle of pumpkin seeds, grated Parmesan cheese, or fresh herbs will add a nice finishing touch to the soup.

Conclusion:

This easy pumpkin soup recipe is a delicious and comforting fall dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a soup that is both flavorful and nutritious. So next time you're looking for a warm and cozy soup, give this pumpkin soup recipe a try.
