Equipment
- Large Heavy-Bottomed Pot
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 large Yellow Onion chopped
- 6 Garlic Cloves minced
- 1/2 cup Tomato Paste
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- 4 cups Vegetable Broth
- 1 15 ounce can Pumpkin Puree
- 1/2 teaspoon Ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1/3 cup Grated Parmesan
- 3 tablespoons Heavy Cream
Instructions
- Sauté: Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until they've softened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 1 minute.
- Bloom the spices. Add the tomato paste to the onion mixture and cook for 1 more minute. Then add the smoked paprika and red pepper flakes.
- Simmer. Add the vegetable broth, pumpkin puree, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger. Stir the mixture and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. As it continues to cook season the soup with salt and pepper as needed.
- Add the cream and cheese. Pour in the heavy cream and grated parmesan. Once the cheese has fully melted remove the pot from the heat.
- Blend. For a super smooth and creamy texture carefully pour the soup into a blender and blend until smooth.
Notes
- Consistency Control: Adjust the amount of broth or cream to achieve your desired soup thickness. Add more for a thinner consistency or less for a thicker one.
- Texture Refinement: Use an immersion blender or regular blender to achieve a smooth and creamy texture if you prefer, but be cautious when blending hot liquids.
- Make It Ahead: Pumpkin tomato soup often tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld, making it a great candidate for meal prep.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or freeze for longer-term storage.
