With the Fall season upon us and Thanksgiving just around the corner, a steaming bowl of Pumpkin Soup is perfect! It's a rich, creamy delicious soup that would make a perfect starter to your meals. Pair it with a nice salad or big crusty piece of bread and you have dinner! If you would like it to be lower in fat, use low fat evaporated milk.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. butter or vegetable oil
- 1 cup onions, chopped
- 2 large cloves garlic, chopped
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 (15 oz) can of pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling
- 1 (12 oz) can of evaporated milk, you can use low fat instead
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Melt butter or oil (if using) in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes until tender. Add in the garlic and cook for another minute. Stirring frequently. Add the salt and pepper.
- Add the broth and pumpkin and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes. Add in evaporated milk. Transfer mixture to food processor or blender (in batches, if necessary); cover. Blend until smooth. Serve warm. Enjoy!
I love pumpkin everything, and make a pumpkin apple soup but have been on the lookout for a good straight pumpkin soup. Pinned. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! 🙂
Great soup. It would be great for nights that we don’t have a lot of time or energy to cook dinner. Thanks for sharing this during Our Little Family Adventure’s Thanksgiving Menu Planning Event. I’ve added a link to your recipe on my planning post. ~Nicky

That looks great, Sandi! I am a huge soup person, especially this time of year! We eat it several times a week. Believe it or not, I have never made pumpkin soup though. Butternut squash, but not pumpkin! Thanks for sharing it with us at Foodie Fridays!

Thanks very much Meghan and have a great day! 🙂
I’ve never had pumpkin soup before. Like sweet potatoes, I tend to prefer a savory way to use pumpkin rather than sweet.
Thank you for sharing, Sandi!

This makes me want to start liking pumpkin…but sadly I do not 🙁 However I love your usage of the evaporated milk in here! I use that in my cream soups as well and I do not feel as guilty eating them! Thanks for partying with us this week at #FoodieFridays!!! We are always glad to see your recipes on there! See you again this week!
Thanks! Sorry you don’t like pumpkin but maybe give it another try as it really is quite good! Have a great day! 🙂
Interesting, I’ve never made pumpkin soup. Great idea. Thanks for bringing this to Weekend Bites.
