Easy Pumpkin Soup With Canned Or Fresh Pumpkin

Serve it along with some fresh dinner rolls to sop up every drop left in the bowl!

A Fall Favorite

Fall is filled with all things pumpkin for us. Roasting pumpkin, making pumpkin seeds, and of course carving jack-O-lanterns (not to mention a classic homemade pumpkin pie).

This pumpkin soup recipe is the perfect balance between comfort and festivity!
Use canned or homemade pumpkin puree to make this recipe quick.
This recipe is versatile, add in some chili flakes to create a spicy pumpkin soup, or even substitute cream for coconut milk. Endless possibilities.

How To Make Pumpkin Soup

Smoky and salty, bacon is great with the sweetness of pumpkin to create perfectly balanced flavor! Make sure the bacon is crispy enough that you can crumble it, and reserve the fat to cook the onions in.

Fry bacon and set aside. Cook onions in bacon fat.
Add broth & seasonings and simmer to blend flavors.
Stir in pumpkin and cream and simmer.
Puree soup until smooth with a hand blender.

If you use milk a hot soup can potentially cause it to curdle. Heavy cream is the easiest dairy to use in pumpkin soup because the high-fat content keeps it from separating as easily!

Blender Tip: If you don’t have a hand blender, puree in a regular blender. Be sure not to seal the blender tightly as the steam needs to escape. Pulse a few times to smooth out the soup before returning it to the pot.

Serving this colorful pumpkin soup recipe is as easy as pouring it into bowls and getting creative with the garnish.

Stir in a splash of cream to create a beautiful ripple effect, add some crumbled bacon, parsley, and croutons for a nice crunch!

Because this soup is rich, I usually just serve it with bread or Easy Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits, a quick salad works well too.
