Creamy Harvest Pumpkin Soup

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Harvest Pumpkin Soup.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (205°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, take your pumpkins and carefully slice them in half, then scoop out the seeds—this is where the magic begins! Next, grab a cookie sheet and give it a light spray with non-stick cooking spray.

3. Step 3

   Place the pumpkin halves, flesh side down, on the sheet, creating a little pumpkin paradise.

4. Step 4

   Pop them into the oven and let them roast for about 45 minutes, or until they feel soft and tender to the touch.

5. Step 5

   Once they’re perfectly roasted, take them out and let them cool for a bit—patience is key here! After they’ve cooled down, scoop the delicious pumpkin flesh from the skins and toss the skins aside.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to blend! Add the pumpkin flesh to a food processor along with some chicken stock, and purée everything until it’s silky smooth.

7. Step 7

   Pour this vibrant purée into a large saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

8. Step 8

   To elevate the flavors, stir in some heavy whipping cream, a sprinkle of ground nutmeg, a dash of ground sage, and a pinch of salt.

9. Step 9

   Mix it all together until well combined, then remove it from the heat.

10. Step 10

    Serve your warm, comforting soup in bowls, and don’t forget to add a dollop of sour cream on top for that extra touch of creaminess.
