Easy Pumpkin Soup Recipes

EASY PUMPKIN SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
• Cook chopped onions until soft and golden brown.
• Heat the broth in a good-sized pot, add pumpkin slowly, and bring to a partial boil.
• Stir in onions, milk, polenta, honey, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, salt, and pepper (pressed garlic might be suitable at this time).
• Make sure that the ingredients do not clump but are spread throughout the soup.
• Cook for about 5 minutes or longer until all ingredients have been thoroughly mixed and dissolved and so the soup is thoroughly heated.
• If at this point it seems chunkier or thicker than desired; use an immersion blender or a regular one to liquefy the soup and blend in the onions.
• Serve warm with pieces of bread if desired.

QUICK PUMPKIN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat butter in a 4 quart saucepan. Saute onion for about 5 minutes or until tender. Add the pumpkin and bring to a simmer until you are ready to eat. (Note that if the soup is too thin, you can soak the bread in some more broth and when tender, add it to the soup) Season to taste with salt and pepper and a very fine touch of ground mace. Right before serving, remove the hot soup from the heat and add the cheese. (For company you can whisk in some heavy cream before serving or top the soup with sour cream). Garnish with snipped chives.
