Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup
Flavors Used:
Creamy, herby pumpkin soup is easy to make and perfect for fall weather! I’d never tried eating pumpkin before so this was a whole new experience. I tried someone’s pumpkin soup recipe that involved leeks and carrots and I was not impressed. I decided to make up my own and try and get more of a roasted vegetable flavor and creamy texture. Nailed it! Dan-O’s seasoning made it easy to add some yummy flavor without worrying about choosing the right spices. The roasted pumpkin with Dan-O’s on it was good by itself too!
Ingredients
- Dan-O's Original Seasoning - 2 tbsp plus more for sprinkling
- 1 Pie pumpkin
- 1/2 onion
- 8-10 small red potatoes
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 stick butter
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1/3 cup heavy cream (half and half or milk will also work)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp thyme
- Sprinkle of nutmeg (optional)
Preparation Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Cut pumpkin in half and scoop out innards and seeds. Sprinkle Dan-O's over inside of pumpkin.
- Place pumpkin on foil covered tray inside down (foil is optional, but is easier to clean up).
- Cut small potatoes in half.
- Cut onion into large chucks.
- Cover onion and potatoes in olive oil and sprinkle with Dan-O's, mix to coat.
- Place onion and potatoes on baking tray and spread out.
- Remove most of the papery skin of section of garlic bunch (I had 4-5 cloves left so that's what I used). Cut 1/4 inch off top of cloves and crizzle with olive oil. Wrap in foil and place on baking tray.
- Roast in oven for 30 mins
- Peel off pumpkin skin and discard skin. Cut pumpkin flesh into chunks.
- In a deep skillet combine vegetable broth, butter, salt, pepper, thyme, 2 tbsp Dan-O's and let butter melt. Add roasted potatoes and onions, pumpkin pieces and garlic cloves (Remove garlic from foil and squeeze out the mush inside.)
- Cover and simmer on low 10-15 mins, stirring occasionally and smushing large chunks.
- Add 1/3 cup heavy cream.
- Blend with a hand blender or food processor until smooth.
- Serve and sprinkle with nutmeg or garnish with thyme (optional).
