recipe: fall pumpkin soup.

Fall is here (or basically almost winter) and it’s soup time! Every year for our annual Friendsgiving I like to start the meal off with a new dish. The last two years it’s been soup so this year I was on the hunt for a new one. I am not a huge soup person so one two recipes that I can make throughout the season a couple of times is good enough for me.

This soup is literally the easiest recipe you will ever make (I think I say that about every recipe...). Butternut squash is usually my go to fall veggie but I found this amazing recipe that I altered with pumpkin. 

Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp. Unsalted butter 

  • 1 large potato 

  • 1 large yellow onion 

  • 4 1/2 cups of chicken broth 

  • 1 can of pumpkin 

  • Salt / pepper / garlic 

  • 1/2 tsp. Nutmeg 

  • 2 sticks (or 1/2 tsp.) cinnamon

  • Fresh rosemary 

  • 1/2 pt. Heavy cream (optional)
