If you’re curious and want to make the creamy pumpkin soup, here are all the steps:
- To make this easy pumpkin soup that’s very low in carbs and keto-friendly grab a large saucepan and all the ingredients. I’m a huge fan of making my pumpkin puree from scratch. But don’t worry, canned pumpkin puree is great to make this soup.
- Caramelize the onion in butter or olive oil over medium heat add the butter and chopped onion. Allow the onion to soften for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Next on the list is to bring all the ingredients in the pot: the pumpkin puree, chicken broth, and the seasonings. Let the soup simmer for 15 minutes on low heat.
- To create this creamy and smooth pumpkin soup use a blender or an immersion blender to puree the soup. Be careful with using the blender and hot liquids to avoid any accidents.
- Bring the soup back into the pot and simmer on low heat for 30 more minutes. You know it’s done when it looks super creamy and thick.
- Now it’s time for the last details. Remove the pot from heat and stir in the heavy cream.
- Serve it hot, topped with roasted pumpkin seeds and a drizzle of heavy whipping cream.

I would like to make this soup. Here in New Zealand canned pumpkin is not really a thing. Do you have a quick simple puree recipe please? Just roast pumpkin till soft and puree??
Thanks
At the moment I don’t have a recipe for pumpkin puree on the blog. I bake my pumpkin at 400F for about one hour or until the pumpkin is fork-tender, then I puree it using a food processor. It’s super easy and you can freeze it for up to 3 months.
Thank you so much. Have done this and it’s lovely
