Bienvenidos Everyone! today we´re making something very exciting! cream of pumpkin soup now I know I´m a little behind on this one considering it´s already November but technically it´s still Fall so I think I´m OK anyway this soup is so good it has such a great flavor to it and a beautiful creamy texture

And yes as you guessed it we´re making this from scratch but don´t let that scare you off because this recipe is very very easy and it´s a lot of fun to make ok let´s get to it ok we´re going to start with the star of our dish Pumpkin

Now I found this pumpkin at the super market it´s not the typical round design that we´re all used to but she is still a beauty hey all great things come in all shapes and sizes 🙂 anyway I´m going to cut this pumpkin in half I´m going to deseed it with a spoon

And then I´m going to remove the skin for this recipe I´m going to use about 1/2 of this pumpkin which should be about 1 pound and when your peeling your pumpkin you want to make sure you get rid of all the white skin you want to get that beautiful orange color only

Ok now we can start cutting up all our ingredients let´s cut our pumpkin into some small chunks finely mince 2 cloves of garlic and finely dice 1/2 of an onion and this is about the size you want each chunk to be about 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch

Ok now we can start cooking our soup heat a non-stick frying pan with a medium heat and add 3 tablespoons of extra virgin Spanish olive oil ok once the oil get´s hot add the minced garlic mix it with the oil add the diced onions and mix everything together

About 3 minutes after adding our onions to the pan and they already have that beautiful translucent color let´s add our chunks of pumpkin into the pan we´re going to cook these chunks of pumpkin for about 20 minutes till they get a nice golden color to them and you want to stir this occasionally

Ok and after cooking our pumpkin for about 20 minutes and it already has a beautiful golden color to it let´s season everything with 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme a 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper now let´s mix everything together

Now we´re going to add 2 1/2 cups of vegetable stock mix it together ok we´re going to cook this between 15 to 20 minutes to let all these beautiful flavors develop and while this is simmering you want to give it a taste to make sure all your seasonings are perfect

This one need a little bit more of salt because there is nothing worst than serving a dish that is not seasoned properly ok we´ve been simmering this for about 15 minutes at this point the pumpkin should be perfectly cooked so let´s go ahead and turn off the fire

And let this rest for about 5 minutes ok after leaving our pumpkin mixture to rest for about 5 minutes I´m going to add it into a tall plastic cylinder and using a handheld mixer I´m going to puree it until I form a creamy texture now let´s divide our creamy pumpkin soup

Into a couple of soup bowls ok now I´m going to add a little bit of Greek yogurt on top this is going to add extra creaminess and a little bit more flavor and we´ll top it off with a little fresh parsley for color ok now I´m going to give it a try, Salud!

Oh man this is so good it has such a beautiful creamy texture so many different flavors you get a little bit of that smoked paprika at the end this soup is fantastic cheers to the great season of Fall! if you enjoyed today´s video on making this pumpkin soup
