Description
This creamy Blender Pumpkin Bisque is a quick and easy fall soup made entirely in a blender. It’s warm, comforting, and full of pumpkin flavor with a hint of spice.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup half-and-half or heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cooked onion and garlic to a blender, followed by the pumpkin puree, broth, half-and-half, maple syrup, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and black pepper.
- Blend on high until the soup is smooth and creamy.
- If your blender heats soup (like a Vitamix), continue to blend until heated through. If not, transfer the blended soup to a saucepan and heat over medium heat until warmed to your liking.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with a swirl of cream, croutons, or toasted pumpkin seeds.
Notes
- This soup is easily made vegan by substituting the butter with olive oil and using plant-based milk or cream.
- Add a bit of cayenne or curry powder for a spicy twist.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
