Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 7 tablespoons butter, divided

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 2 ½ cups peeled, cubed pumpkin

  • ¾ cup peeled, cubed potatoes

  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth

  • ¾ cup milk

  • salt to taste

  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg

  • ½ teaspoon sugar, or to taste

  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice

  • ¾ cup heavy cream

  • 3 slices Italian bread, cubed

Directions

  1. Heat 4 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat in a pot; add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add pumpkin and potatoes and stir to coat with butter. Add broth and milk. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until potatoes are soft, 10 to 15 minutes.

  2. Strain soup through a fine-mesh sieve. Season with salt, nutmeg, and sugar. Stir in lemon juice. Return soup to the pot and bring to a boil. Add cream and heat through without boiling.

  3. Meanwhile, heat remaining butter in a skillet and toast bread cubes in hot butter until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve croutons with soup.
