This creamy pumpkin soup is even better if it's made a day ahead of time. Just refrigerate overnight, reheat on the stovetop and garnish immediately before serving. Slideshow: Vegetarian Soup Recipes
How to Make It
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is just beginning to brown, add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, sugar, cinnamon, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne pepper and cook for 3 minutes. Add the pumpkin puree and broth, stir to incorporate, season with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the cream and let cool for 10 minutes.
Transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender in the pot) and puree until smooth. If needed, add additional water or broth to reach desired consistency. Return the mixture to the pot or large a sauce pan. Serve warm and drizzle with crème fraîche.

Review Body: Made this recipe for the first time last night. It’s just what I was looking for! Not to sweet and cinnamony and not too savory, but with a little kick! After tasting I increased the brown sugar by 2 tsp. and added a little extra heavy cream. Everyone (including my fussy husband who doesn’t like spicy) loved this soup. We’ve had many squash soups in various fine dining restaurants and loved them all. Always wanted to make a delicious squash soup and now I can. I really love that the recipe uses canned pumpkin (or squash). Make this one - - it’s a keeper!

Review Body: This is amazing!! So easy and so so good. I swapped the Heavy Cream for Culinary Coconut Cream and it made it even better... IF you like the taste of coconut cream in soups. I was a little heavy on the cayenne which was still good but wow... this will be a staple in our house all winter. I am totally in love with this soup! Try it, you won't be disappointed!
