In the fall, you've just got to have a bowl of Creamy Pumpkin Soup. This simple pumpkin soup recipe will warm you up from the inside-out. It's so good, you're going to want to lick the bowl clean!
What You'll Need
- 1 can (29 ounces) pure pumpkin
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups half-and-half
What to Do
- In a large saucepan, combine all the ingredients except the half-and-half; mix well. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the half-and-half until well blended. Cover and simmer until heated through. Serve immediately.
Notes
We like to garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving. And if you want a really spectacular presentation, you can even serve the soup in individual, hollowed out, small pumpkins!

Will this recipe work well with regular or 2% milk, or with lowfat evap milk instead of half and half?

Hello! Yes, this soup will work with regular, 2%, or even evaporated milk. Half-and-half just gives it a richer texture. Enjoy!
