This thick and creamy savory Pumpkin Ginger Soup is simple to make using fresh or canned pumpkin puree mixed with ginger, onion, garlic, cinnamon, nutmeg, and heavy cream.
This is a small batch recipe, ready in 30 minutes, and makes a great lunch, dinner, or date night meal for two.
Pumpkin soup can be served warm or cold, but the smooth, strong flavor works best with other fall foods like a hearty fall salad or as an appetizer to this Turkey breast and Gravy.

Add the sliced onions to the pan and cook stirring often until caramelized, about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle in the garlic, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, and stir constantly for one minute.
