Cream of pumpkin soup is a smooth and velvety soup made with pureed pumpkin, cream, and a blend of aromatic spices. The soup starts by sautéing onions and garlic in butter or oil until they are soft and fragrant. Then, pumpkin puree, vegetable or chicken broth, and a combination of spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are added to the pot. The soup is simmered until the flavors meld together, and then it is pureed until smooth. Finally, cream or coconut milk is added to give the soup a rich and creamy texture. This soup is often garnished with a drizzle of cream, croutons, or fresh herbs.
