Ingredients

  • 2.4 pounds pumpkin unpeeled weight
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 2 garlic peeled, cloves
  • 3 cups vegetable broth low-sodium, or chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 3/4 cup cream or milk or half-and-half

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut pumpkin into 2 1/4-inch slices. Remove the skin and seeds, then cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks.
  2. In a large pot, combine the pumpkin chunks, sliced onion, whole garlic cloves, broth, and water. The liquid should nearly cover the pumpkin. Bring to a boil, then simmer rapidly until the pumpkin is tender, about 10 minutes.
  3. Remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, blend in batches and be cautious of the steam.
  4. Season the blended soup with salt and pepper to taste. Gently stir in the cream, milk, or half-and-half.
  5. Serve the soup in bowls, garnished with a drizzle of cream.
