Ingredients

• 2 cups pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
• 3 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

How to Make Creamy Pumpkin Soup with Raspberries

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
3. Stir in the pumpkin puree and mix well with the onions and garlic.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and black pepper. Let the soup heat through for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it is smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can blend only half of the soup and leave the rest as is.
7. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of chopped mint leaves on top.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh pumpkin puree for a more intense flavor, but canned pumpkin works perfectly for convenience.
• Adjust the seasoning according to your taste; feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon for a warm spice note.
• For an extra creamy texture, blend the soup longer until fully smooth.

Easy Variations

• Substitute heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
• Add roasted garlic for a deeper flavor.
• Incorporate a splash of apple cider for a sweet and tangy twist.
• Top with croutons or toasted pumpkin seeds for added crunch.

What to Serve With It

• Crusty bread or breadsticks for dipping.
• A simple green salad with vinaigrette for a refreshing contrast.
• Grilled cheese sandwiches for a classic pairing.
• Roasted vegetables for a hearty side.
