Easy, tasty fall/winter recipe for those weight-watchers or vegetarians who just went pumpkin picking, or for those wondering what to do with the pumpkins still sitting on their front stoops at Thanksgiving time.

Time 2h

Yield 2 quarts, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 medium sugar pumpkin, peeled, seeded, cut into 1-inch cubes (should yield about 4 cups pumpkin puree)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup carrot, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
1/4 cup half-and-half cream
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon ground sage or 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup raw unsalted almonds, lightly toasted and rough chopped

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss cut pumpkin cubes in vegetable oil to coat evenly and place in a shallow baking pan. Roast pumpkin in oven until pumpkin is soft enough that a fork pokes into it easily, about 1 hour to 1 and 1/2 hours. Remove pumpkin from oven and let cool.
Place chopped yellow onion and carrot into food processor and puree for a few minutes until it forms a thick paste (you can add a little bit of water or stock to the processor in case the vegetables stick to the sides).
Melt butter in a medium stock or soup pot on medium heat and add onion/carrot paste. Cook the paste until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add vegetable stock to pot and bring to a simmer, stirring a few times to incorporate the carrot/onion paste.
Puree pumpkin cubes in food processor until smooth and add to the pot, along with the half & half, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup, stirring occasionally.
When mixture is back to a simmer, add all remaining ingredients except for the almonds and stir together. Reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 15 minutes. Simmer for about an hour for better results. Serve hot and sprinkle some of the chopped toasted almonds on top of each serving.

Tips:

For a smoother soup, blend it in a food processor or blender until desired consistency is reached.
Substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth for a vegan option.
To make the soup creamier, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
Garnish the soup with a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds, chopped fresh parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil.
For a healthier option, use low-sodium chicken broth and reduced-fat milk or almond milk.
If you don't have any pumpkin puree, you can make your own by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing it in a food processor.
This soup is also great for freezing. Simply let it cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

This skinny pumpkin soup is a delicious and healthy way to warm up on a cold day. It's packed with nutrients and flavor, and it's easy to make. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
