A warm, comforting pumpkin soup infused with fresh sage and a creamy texture, perfect for cozy fall evenings and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (15-ounce/425g) can pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 3 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk
  • 8–10 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried sage)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
  • Toasted pumpkin seeds or crusty bread for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add chopped onion and cook for 5-7 minutes until translucent and soft, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Stir in the canned pumpkin puree and cook for 2 minutes to deepen the flavor.
  5. Pour in 3 cups broth, stirring to combine, and bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Add chopped fresh sage, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, smoked paprika if using, salt, and pepper. Let simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Remove from heat and puree the soup using an immersion blender until silky smooth (about 1-2 minutes). If using a regular blender, blend in batches carefully and return to pot.
  8. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk and 1 tablespoon butter if using. Warm gently over low heat for 3-5 minutes without boiling. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Ladle into bowls and garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds or fresh sage leaves. Serve with crusty bread.

Notes

If soup is too thick after blending, add more broth or cream to reach desired consistency. Do not boil after adding cream to prevent curdling. Fresh sage is preferred over dried for best flavor. Salt at multiple stages to layer seasoning. Can substitute fresh pumpkin cubes roasted and blended for puree.
