Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 can (15 oz) canned pumpkin
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- Parsley, for garnish
- Pumpkin seeds (optional), for garnish
Instructions:
-
In a 3-quart pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent.
-
Stir in flour and cook until bubbly, about 1-2 minutes, to create a roux base for the soup.
-
Add canned pumpkin, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg to the pan, stirring to combine with the onion mixture.
-
Gradually pour in chicken broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps, until the soup reaches a smooth consistency.
-
Bring the soup to a gentle simmer, then stir in the milk, reducing the heat to low to prevent boiling.
-
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs until well combined.
-
Gradually stir about 1/2 cup of the hot soup into the beaten eggs to temper them, then pour the egg mixture back into the pan, stirring constantly to incorporate.
-
Continue to cook the soup over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through and thickened, but be careful not to let it boil.
-
Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper, adjusting the seasoning as desired.
-
Once the soup is ready, ladle it into a soup tureen or individual serving bowls.
-
Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
-
For an optional crunchy topping, pass around a bowl of pumpkin seeds for guests to add to their soup servings as desired.
Enjoy your delicious and creamy pumpkin soup! ๐ฅฃ๐
