Creamy Pumpkin Soup – a classic Fall comfort meal, that is super easy to make, great to eat on a cold night in, and pairs perfectly with grilled cheese!
On my mission to try any and all flavors of pumpkin, Pumpkin soup was high on my “Need to try next” list (which is actually very long because there’s just so much to try.)
Anywho, I was very nervous about how the soup was going to turn out. I figured it was going to turn out similar to tomato soup (which I like, on occasion), but pumpkiny.
And, of course, I was right. So if you’re a fan of tomato soup, you’re gonna be a fan of this Creamy Pumpkin Soup.
I made this while my boyfriend was at work, but let it be known the second he gets home I’ll be shoving it in his face to try it!
And he LOVES tomato soup so I just know he’s going to love this.
Okay, that enough of me just blabbing, let’s get on with the recipe!
Creamy Pumpkin Soup
The ingredients you’ll need for the Creamy Pumpkin Soup include:
- 2 cups of pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
- you can find the recipe on how to make Homemade Pumpkin Puree here
- 28 ounce can of peeled tomatoes (drained)
- 6-8 garlic cloves
- 2 cups of chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons of onion powder
- 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon of black pepper
- 2 teaspoons of salt
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons of dried basil
- 2 teaspoons of dried oregano
- cayenne pepper to taste (optional, adds a little spice to it)
- 2 cups of heavy whipping cream
Add all of the ingredients (except the heavy whipping cream) into a blender and blend until completely smooth. Ensure there are absolutely no chunks in the soup.
Once blended, pour the soup into a pot and turn the stove onto medium to low heat. Stir in the heavy whipping cream and let simmer for at least 20 minutes.
In the mean time, go ahead and make yourself a good grilled cheese sandwich. I promise, it’s so worth it.
Once the grilled cheese is ready and the Creamy Pumpkin Soup has cooked for about 20 minutes, it’s ready to serve!
This Creamy Pumpkin Soup is perfect for a cold night in the house, in your pjs, watching a Christmas Movie with all your loved ones gathered around you.
And I know it’s not Christmas yet and we still have to get past Thanksgiving, let’s remember that Thanksgiving is a day, and Christmas is a SEASON.
