We will look at detailed step-by-step recipes for different variations of pumpkin soup and choose the most delicious one.
The most common form of pumpkin soup is puree soup. It turns out very tender thanks to the juiciness and softness of the pumpkin.
This is the most famous and simple pumpkin soup. If you have pumpkin at home and are wondering what to cook with it, then be sure to try this wonderful soup.

To prepare creamy pumpkin soup you will need:
Preparation:
1. First of all, you need to sauté the onions and carrots. Why finely chop the onion and garlic.
2. Cut the carrots in half and then into thin semicircles.
3. Cut the pumpkin into large cubes. Since it will subsequently stew, soften well, and subsequently be ground in a blender, the size of the cubes is not too important. But cubes that are too large will take longer to cook.
4. Melt the butter in the bottom of the pan. Once it melts to a liquid state, pour olive oil into it. Stir.
5. Fry the onion and garlic a little until it becomes softer and translucent. There is no need to turn on high heat to prevent the onion from burning.
6. Add carrots to the onions and fry a little until slightly softened.
7. Add pumpkin pieces to the fried vegetables. Pour hot water over the vegetables until just slightly covered. Please note that when cooking, the water must be freshly boiled directly from the kettle. This is necessary so that the cooking temperature does not drop and the process is not disrupted. Everything in our saucepan is already boiling and stirring.
Salt and pepper the vegetables, stir and cook for 15 minutes.
8. Grind the prepared vegetables using an immersion blender. You can also use a blender with a jug. During the chopping process, pour cream into the vegetable puree and continue. Vegetables and cream will mix and form a lush thick cream puree.
9. Place the pot of pumpkin soup back on the stove and bring to a boil. As soon as it starts to boil, remove. The pumpkin soup is ready and can be served.
Pumpkin puree soup is wonderfully complemented by white bread croutons. Roast them ahead of time and serve for dinner. Bon appetit!
Pumpkin soup can be not only lean, made exclusively from vegetables, but also with the addition of delicious meat ingredients. For a simple example, you can take pumpkin soup with chicken, which is prepared with rich chicken broth and chicken meat. Tender chicken meat goes well with the sweet pulp of pumpkin.
To prepare this soup you will need:
Preparation:
1. First, cook the chicken for the broth. If you want to make a leaner, more tender version of pumpkin soup with chicken, remove the skin, which contains the most fat.
2. Peel the pumpkin from pulp, seeds and peel, and peel the potatoes too. Cut the vegetables into large cubes. Chop the peeled onion into quarter rings or large cubes.
3. Place a piece of butter in a thick-bottomed saucepan and melt it over low heat. Fry the onion in oil until transparent.
4. Then add potatoes there and fry for two to three minutes. Immediately after this, add the pumpkin cubes and cook them together, stirring and over low heat until the pumpkin lightens.
5. At this time, you can add dried parsley and celery root to improve the taste of the chicken broth. You can use a special device that will allow you to boil the root and easily remove it back. Don't forget to salt the broth.
6. Add broth from a nearby pan to the vegetables. You will need very little, 2-3 ladles. Vegetables should be stewed over very low heat without being covered in broth. Cover them with a lid and simmer until the pumpkin and potatoes are ready.
7. When the vegetables are cooked, you need to stop mashing them. You can use a blender if you have one. If not, then a mashed potato masher will do, and for a more delicate consistency of the mashed potatoes, grind through a sieve.
8. Add chicken broth to the finished puree until the soup consistency is pleasant to you. Stir well. Remove the chicken from the broth, remove the bones and cut into small pieces.
9. Place the chicken pieces into the pumpkin soup, return the pan to the heat and bring to a boil. After this, the soup is ready and can be served. Garnish the soup with herbs.
This wonderful pumpkin soup goes great with croutons from your favorite bread. For example, from white or grain.
Bon appetit!
