Description
Indulge in the cozy goodness of pumpkin soup, a rich and creamy delight that’s perfect for a chilly evening.
Ingredients
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 3 tablespoons butter (or substitute with oil)
- 1 tablespoon baking mix
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 (15 oz) can of pumpkin puree (approximately half of a large can)
- 3 cups water (or chicken/vegetable broth)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
-
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until they become translucent.
-
Sprinkle the baking mix over the onions and stir to coat. This will act as a thickening agent.
-
Add the garlic powder, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, white pepper, and ground nutmeg to the pot. Mix everything thoroughly to coat the onions with the aromatic spices.
-
Incorporate the pumpkin puree into the mixture. If you have a large can, use about half of it.
-
Pour in the water (or chicken/vegetable broth) and add a teaspoon of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
-
Gradually stir in the milk to add creaminess to the soup. Let the soup cool for a few minutes, then remove it from the heat.
-
Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until it’s silky smooth.
-
Serve the warm pumpkin soup in bowls, and enjoy the cozy flavors, especially when paired with some delicious biscuits.
Notes
Serve this with warm biscuits made from the instructions on a baking mix package such as Bisquick or Jiffy.
