Name: Delicious Pumpkin Soup
Cook time: 60 min
Ingredients: 1/4 cup butter (coconut oil, olive oil, or lard); 3 large yellow onions (sliced 1/4” thick); 2 cloves minced garlic; 2 tablespoons fresh sage (finely chopped); 1/2 teaspoon thyme; 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg or allspice; 3 cups roasted pumpkin flesh (about 2 sugar pie pumpkins or 30 oz of pumpkin puree); 6 cups chicken stock or bone broth; 1 cup cream (heavy, coconut, or cashew); Salt and pepper (to taste); crumbled bacon; Freshly ground black pepper; lime juice (it's surprisingly great!)

Delicious Pumpkin Soup

This super tasty soup is sure to raise your spirits and put you in a festive fall mood! I highly recommend making your own stock or broth with a whole chicken following this super simple chicken stock recipe or bone broth recipe! We also sell bone both if you want to skip that step and still get a super flavorful and nutrient dense soup.

If you're short on time, make this in the slow cooker! Super easy, no fuss, and you come gome to greatness after a long day!

Pair this with some fresh bread and a salad to make a complete fall fireside meal!

Instructions

Heat fat in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Add onions with a big pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook for 3-5 min.
Remove lid and stir. With the lid off, continue to stir every 5 min. Turn heat to low if needed.
Cook 20-30 minutes until onions turn golden brown and become very sweet.
Add garlic, sage, and nutmeg. Cook for 2 min.
Add broth and pumpkin and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, turn heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 min.
Transfer the soup to a blender and purée. Alternatively, use an immersion/stick blender to purée right in the pot.
Stir in cream and season with salt to taste.
Simmer the soup for 3-5 minutes until warmed through

Recipe Notes

The soup is delicious on it's own, but some bacon crumbles on top really makes it ultimate comfort food! If you like spice, add a little cayenne to garnish.

If you want to go the slow cooker method (my favorite way of cooking) add all ingredients to the slow cooker and mix together. Set for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low. When finished, use an immersion blender to really blend and smooth everything. Easy and delicious!
