Decadent browned butter sauce is an optional topping for this hearty, wholesome soup that puts your wintered over (or fresh!) pumpkins to excellent use. Serve with a generous salad of leafy greens for a meal balanced in texture and temperature.
Tip: You can swap in canned pumpkin puree (about two cans) if fresh pumpkins aren’t in season!
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 large leeks, quartered lengthwise and finely chopped
- 1 small yellow onion, finely sliced
- 1 quart low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 medium sugar pumpkin, roasted and cooled
- 2 bay leaves
- 8 whole stems thyme
- 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter (optional)
- 1 Tbsp. picked thyme leaves
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
Directions
- Warm olive oil over medium-high heat. Add leeks and onion and cook until softened. Add broth and maple syrup and bring to a simmer.
- Add roasted pumpkin, bay leaves and whole thyme to the pot. Let simmer for 15-30 minutes then remove leave and stems. Puree soup until completely smooth.
- (Optional) Heat butter in a small skillet over medium heat until butter is browned and nutty. Remove from heat and add thyme leaves. Add lemon juice and drizzle over individual portions of soup.
