    pumpkin soup topped with yogurt and pumpkin seeds

    Winter squash makes such delicious healthy soup. Loads of beta carotene and fiber, beautiful color and a light natural sweetness.

    You can use canned pumpkin to make this recipe quickly. Or roast up some extra of you favorite winter squashes, like butternut or acorn squash, for a meal the night before and use the leftovers to make this.

    I love cook once and eat twice ideas like this, don't you?

    Ingredients for Creamy Pumpkin Soup

    • chicken or vegetable stock
    • pumpkin puree (or other winter squash puree)
    • Vidalia or yellow onions
    • garlic
    • carrots
    • turnip
    • olive or canola oil

    • plain Greekย yogurt (or dairy free milk*)
    • cinnamon, nutmeg, white pepper and salt
    • sunflower or pumpkin seedsย (optional for garnish)
    • maple syrupย (optional for garnish)

    Ingredients
     

    • 2 tablespoons olive or canola oil
    • ยฝ cup Vidalia or yellow onions (minced)
    • 1-2 cloves garlic (minced)
    • 2 tablespoons flour
    • 2 cups fat free chicken or vegetable stock
    • 2 large carrots (peeled and diced)
    • 1 medium turnip (peeled and diced)
    • 15 ounce can pumpkin puree (or 2 cups cooked winter squash, cubed)
    • ยพ cups yogurt
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ยฝ teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • salt (to taste)
    • white pepper (to taste)
    • sunflower or pumpkin seeds (optional for garnish)
    • yogurt (optional for garnish)
    • maple syrup (optional for garnish)

    Instructions
     

    • Heat oil on medium heat in a stock pot. Add the onions and sweat them until they are translucent. Add garlic and cook lightly. Do not brown onion and garlic.
    • Stir in the flour and mix thoroughly to make a smooth roux. Add the stock all at once and stir to combine.
    • Add carrots and turnip; increase heat to bring liquid to a low boil, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Reduce heat and cook until carrots and turnip are soft, about 15 minutes.
    • Stir in pumpkin, yogurt, spices, salt and pepper. Cook until pumpkin and milk are hot. Add more liquid if desired.
    • Process with a hand held blender (or put in blender or food processor), making a smooth puree. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
    • Pour into serving bowls, garnish with seeds, sour cream/yogurt and/or a drizzle of maple syrup. Sprinkle with freshly grated nutmeg.

      Thank you for hosting! This is what I featured the week of 10-7 to 10-11 on my blog. On Tuesday morning was a Mushroom Soup Marsala. Wednesday I posted a Rich and Creamy Lobster Bisque. Wrapping up this week of soup I highlighted a Bourbon Sweet Potato Bisque with Walnuts. Enjoy!
