Pumpkin Soup is a traditional American recipe for a classic soup of pumpkin flesh and onion cooked in chicken broth that's finished with whipping cream. The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic American version of: Pumpkin Soup.
In a covered saucepan, heat all ingredients except cream to boiling. Reduce the heat and simmer the mixture, uncovered, for about 20 minutes. Add a lid and gently simmer the mixture for a further 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer. If you like your soup smooth then puree with a hand blender at this point. Now stir the warmed cream into soup.
Serve immediately, garnished with parsley.
For Halloween try hollowing out a pumpkin. Warm this in an oven pre-heated to 170°C (325°F/Gas Mark 3) for 20 minutes. Pour the soup into the hollowed-out pumpkin, garnish with parsley and serve.
