Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup sliced or chopped carrot
  • 1 3/4 tsp kosher salt, divided
  • 3 large garlic cloves
  • 15 oz pureed pumpkin
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tbsp packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup half and half

Instructions

  1. Heat a large stock pot to a medium-lo heat. Add butter. Once butter melts, add onion, carrot, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sweat veggies until slightly softened and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.

  2. Add in pumpkin, chicken stock, remaining salt, cinnamon, black pepper, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes.

  3. Transfer soup to a blender and blend until smooth. Be careful, the soup is HOT! You can also use a hand blender if you don't want to dirty up a blender.

  4. Transfer the soup back to the pot and add half and half. Stir to combine. Simmer another minute or two. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
