Easy Pumpkin Soup {20 Minute!}
Description
This pumpkin soup starts by sautéing minced garlic and chopped onion in butter until translucent, building a flavorful base. Adding pumpkin puree along with fragrant herbs and spices — thyme, ginger, cumin, black pepper, and salt — creates a warm, savory profile. Simmering with chicken broth allows the flavors to meld and the mixture to thin out.
Finishing with heavy cream adds richness and smoothness. The soup is pureed using an immersion blender until velvety smooth, offering a creamy texture balanced by the gentle heat from the spices.
Garnishing with toasted pumpkin seeds adds a contrasting crunch and a nutty note. This soup suits light lunches or an appetizer during cooler weather and can complement autumnal meals.
