Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped, about 1/2 cup
3 cups vegetable broth
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
1 1/2 cups skim milk
2 tablespoons prepared polenta, creamy

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 pinch salt and pepper

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin. Look for a small, sugar pumpkin, also known as a pie pumpkin. These pumpkins are sweeter and have a smoother texture than larger pumpkins.
  • Roast the pumpkin before pureeing. Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the pumpkin in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the soup. Pumpkin soup is best when it is slightly thick and creamy. Overcooking the soup will make it watery and bland.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You may also want to add a splash of cream or milk for a richer flavor.

Conclusion:

This easy 5-ingredient pumpkin soup is a delicious and healthy way to warm up on a cold day. The soup is made with simple, affordable ingredients and can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you like your soup thick or thin, spicy or mild, this recipe is a great place to start. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this pumpkin soup a try.
