This recipe for Low Carb Creamy Pumpkin Soup is really everything yummy that you would expect to enjoy this time of the year.
I like that not only is it tasty to eat, it is also easy to make.
Low Carb Creamy Pumpkin Soup
This soup is the perfect appetizer to serve up this time of the year.
However, this soup can easily be a great meal as well.
There is not enough that can be said about the fall season.
Everyone that I know seems to love everything about this time of the year. Autumn is synonymous with colorful leaves, apple cider, and of course, pumpkin everything!
You may be wondering if Pumpkin Soup is Healthy.
What you should know is that pumpkin is indeed a member of the squash family. One cup of pumpkin has about thirty calories and zero fat in it.
Also, that one cup of cubed pumpkin nets out at about seven grams of carbohydrates.
Pumpkin also has some nutrients in it.
What surprises me is that one cup of pumpkin has nearly twice the recommended amount of Vitamin A for a day. Plus, pumpkin also gives us Vitamin C, Potassium, and a bit of protein in it.
When I was coming up with this recipe, I was wondering what can I add to pumpkin soup.
Obviously, this pumpkin soup has pumpkin puree in it.
But, we are also going to add soup broth, chicken broth, a Keto broth or vegan broth should be okay options for broth to use in this recipe. However, you may need to add additional seasonings to adjust for the taste.
This creamy pumpkin soup also calls for a dairy product in order to make it creamy.
Options for this dairy product include creams such as heavy cream, coconut cream, or even whipping cream. I have even used Greek Yogurt as my dairy of choice.
To personalize this recipe for soup, we will add a few more ingredients to the soup pot.
Minced garlic is good for balancing out the rich taste of the pumpkin puree. We will also add a bit of chopped onion to help give this soup a good taste.
Personalizing this soup is as easy as adding a bit of seasoning.
That is, as needed and for your taste, salt and pepper. Other great seasonings would include sage or even parsley.
This pumpkin soup should last a few days in the refrigerator.
But, you could easily freeze your leftover pumpkin soup for later use for say, Thanksgiving dinner.
I like anything that can be enjoyed now as well as later. 🙂
