Ingredients
2 tbsp butter
1 small onion, 2 small peeled carrots, 2 celery stalks
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 (15-oz) can pumpkin puree
3 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
or heavy coconut milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Pumpkin seeds and fresh thyme for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1
Chop up the peeled carrot, celery, onion and garlic in the bowl of your food processor or by hand.
2
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the chopped onion mixture, cinnamon, nutmeg, and smoked paprika, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
3
Pour in the canned pumpkin and vegetable broth, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until silky smooth. If using a traditional blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches, then return it to the pot.
5
Stir in the heavy cream or heavy coconut milk, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the bisque simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
6
Ladle the bisque into bowls and top with pumpkin seeds and fresh thyme for extra flavor. Serve warm with your favorite bread or grilled cheese sandwich. Enjoy!
