Nutty Pumpkin Bisque Recipes

SAVORY PUMPKIN BISQUE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a heavy bottom dutch oven. Add minced garlic and onion. Cook on medium heat until onions are soft. 2-3 minutes. Don't let garlic or onion burn.
• Add in minced chipotle, oregano and pumpkin spice. Sauté for 30 seconds to bloom the spices. Now add pumpkin puree. Add water (or vegetable stock, if using) and 1/2 tsp of salt. Mix well so that pumpkin puree is fully mixed with stock. No signs of lumps. Turn heat to medium high. Bring to boil and then simmer on medium heat for 5 more minutes.
• Add honey and apple cider vinegar. Mix well. Turn off heat. Mix in heavy cream while continuously stirring the soup. I use from 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup of heavy cream.
• Return pan to medium-low heat. Simmer until soup thickens. (3-4 minutes) Add cheddar cheese and mix until cheese has melted. Taste and adjust salt/honey. (I end up adding 1/2 tsp more salt.) Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve and enjoy!
