Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If using a blender, return the soup to the pot after blending.
Add Cream:
Stir in the heavy cream and heat the soup until warmed through. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve:
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with optional toppings such as pumpkin seeds, croutons, fresh thyme, or a drizzle of cream.
Tips:
Make It Dairy-Free: Substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk or a dairy-free cream alternative.
Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Sweeten It: If you prefer a slightly sweeter soup, add a tablespoon of maple syrup or honey.
This creamy pumpkin soup is not only easy to make but also incredibly versatile and comforting. Enjoy it as a starter or a main dish on a crisp autumn day!
