Easy Cream of Pumpkin Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4 slices whole wheat bread
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
• 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.13 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.13 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of softened butter, brown sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon. Spread this mixture evenly over one side of each bread slice. Place the bread slices, buttered-side up, on a baking sheet.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the bread is crisp and the topping is bubbly. Cut each bread slice into 8 small triangles or squares. Set the cinnamon croutons aside.
4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until tender. Stir in 1 can of chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.
5. Carefully fill your blender or food processor bowl halfway with the broth mixture. Cover securely and hold the lid down with a potholder. Pulse a few times before blending until smooth. Pour the blended mixture into a clean saucepan. Repeat with the remaining broth mixture.
6. Stir in the remaining 1 can of chicken broth, pumpkin puree, salt, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper into the pureed broth mixture. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Stir in the cream and heat through gently, being careful not to boil. Divide the pumpkin soup among serving bowls and top with the prepared cinnamon croutons. Serve immediately and enjoy!
