Ingredients

EVERYTHING YOU NEED

2 lb firm, peeled pumpkin flesh, cubed (about 5–6 cups)
2 tbsp butter or olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced

2 cups chicken or vegetable broth, plus more only if needed
½ tsp dried thyme
Pinch of nutmeg, optional
½ cup heavy cream
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional cream swirl and roasted seeds for topping

✺ Let's cook

STEP-BY-STEP · EACH ONE TIMED

Soften the aromatics
5–6 min
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook onion for 5 minutes until soft. Add garlic; stir for 30 seconds.
Simmer pumpkin until tender
20–25 min
Add cubed pumpkin, 2 cups broth, thyme and nutmeg. Cover; simmer until pumpkin is very soft.
Blend smooth
2–3 min
Turn off heat. Blend smooth with an immersion blender, or carefully blend in batches after cooling slightly.
Make it creamy
2 min
Stir in heavy cream; warm gently without boiling. Season with salt and pepper. Add broth only if too thick.
Top and serve
1 min
Top with a cream swirl and crunchy roasted pumpkin seeds, if desired.

Best tips

Start with just 2 cups broth for an extra-thick soup; carving pumpkins can be watery.

Use clean, fresh-cut pumpkin flesh, not stringy scoop-out or a displayed jack-o'-lantern.
