Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh sage leaves, finely chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk (or heavy cream for a richer flavor)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Crusty bread for serving

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and chopped sage, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the Pumpkin and Spices: Mix in the pumpkin puree, ground cumin, and nutmeg. Stir well to combine all the flavors and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to deepen.
  3. Incorporate the Broth: Slowly pour in the vegetable broth, stirring continuously until everything is well combined. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Blend the Bisque: After simmering, remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until completely smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender.
  5. Finish with Creaminess: Return the bisque to low heat. Stir in the coconut milk or heavy cream, and season with salt, pepper, and maple syrup if desired. Heat gently until warmed through, but do not boil to prevent curdling.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the bisque into bowls, garnishing with fresh sage leaves and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve hot with crusty bread on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh sage with 1 tsp dried sage if fresh is unavailable, but fresh is preferred for best flavor.
  • For a vegan version, use coconut milk and ensure bread served is vegan-friendly.
  • Adjust the thickness by adding more or less vegetable broth according to your preference.
  • Maple syrup is optional; add it if you prefer a slightly sweeter bisque.
  • To make the bisque gluten-free, ensure the bread served is gluten-free or omit the bread.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
