Ingredients
Liquids & Seasoning
- 4-5 cup Vegetable Broth as needed for desired consistency, or more
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground, or to taste
- 2-3 tbsp Olive Oil extra virgin
Finishing Touch
- 1-2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar extra-old, traditional balsamic vinegar of modena

Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the pumpkin into 1-inch cubes. Finely chop the white onion.
Sautéing the Vegetables

Cooking the Pumpkin
- Add the cubed pumpkin to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned.
Simmering and Blending
- Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a simmer, and cook until the pumpkin is very tender, about 20-25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once the pumpkin is tender, carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Return the blended soup to the pot.
Finishing Touches
- Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut cream). Heat through gently. Do not boil.
Serving
- Ladle the soup into bowls. Drizzle each serving with 1-2 tablespoons of extra-old balsamic vinegar. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, roast the pumpkin before adding it to the soup. Toss cubed pumpkin with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes.
- If you don't have vegetable broth, you can substitute with chicken broth for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Adjust the amount of balsamic vinegar to your preference. Start with a smaller amount and add more if needed.
- Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds, a swirl of cream, or fresh herbs like sage or thyme for an extra touch of elegance.
