Ingredients

Scale

Soup Ingredients

  • 2 cups pumpkin purée
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Topping

  • 1/2 cup grated Gruyère cheese

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add Pumpkin and Broth: Stir in the pumpkin purée and pour in the broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  3. Simmer Soup: Allow the soup to simmer for 15-20 minutes to meld flavors, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Blend Soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until completely smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree.
  5. Add Cream and Season: Stir in the heavy cream, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Warm the soup through but do not boil.
  6. Serve with Gruyère: Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle each with grated Gruyère cheese. Optionally, place under a broiler briefly to melt and lightly brown the cheese before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute pumpkin purée with butternut squash purée for a different but similar flavor.
  • For a dairy-free option, replace cream with coconut milk and omit the Gruyère topping.
  • If you do not have an immersion blender, a regular blender works fine; just be careful with hot liquids.
  • Adjust the thickness of the soup by adding more broth if it’s too thick or simmering longer if too thin.
