Creamy Pumpkin Soup With Smoked Paprika offers a rich comforting taste that warms your soul and satisfies your hunger instantly

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 4 cups pumpkin puree (fresh or canned, unsweetened)
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Instructions

  • Start by melting the butter in a large pot over medium heat. When it’s melted and bubbling, add the chopped onion. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent, stirring occasionally so they don’t brown too much.
  • Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and cumin. Stir everything together and cook for just about a minute.
  • Pour in the pumpkin puree and vegetable broth. Stir to combine all the ingredients, then bring the soup to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree until silky smooth. If you don’t have one, carefully transfer batches to a blender.
  • Return the soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Warm it through over low heat for about 5 minutes—don’t let it boil. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  • Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh thyme or parsley if desired. Optionally, add a final sprinkle of smoked paprika on top.
  • Notes

    A rich and velvety autumn soup that perfectly balances creamy texture with a subtle smoky warmth of smoked paprika, elevating the natural sweetness of pumpkin in this comforting dish.
