5-Ingredient Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups vegetable stock
• 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the vegetable stock and pumpkin puree and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it’s smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if desired.
4. Serve the soup hot, with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh parsley or thyme, if desired.
