Print Recipe

A cozy fall soup combining roasted apples and pumpkin for a creamy, heartwarming dish perfect for chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 2 apples, peeled and chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Roast the apples: Spread the chopped apples on a baking sheet, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and half of the cinnamon. Roast for about 20 minutes until they’re tender and starting to caramelize.
  3. Sauté the onions and garlic: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Then, toss in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Combine the pumpkin and broth: Add the pumpkin puree to the pot, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, and stir until smooth.
  5. Stir in spices and apples: Add the caramelized apples to the soup mixture and stir in the remaining spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, smoked paprika), and let all those flavors meld together for about 10 minutes over low heat.
  6. Blend it up: Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until velvety smooth.
  7. Finish with cream: Return the blended soup to the pot over low heat and stir in the heavy cream. Gradually add salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Garnish & Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of herbs.

Notes
