Method
Preparation
- In a large pot, over medium heat, add the spicy beef sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks (about 5–6 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 3–4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree, chicken or vegetable broth, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
- Allow the soup to simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The flavors will deepen as they meld together beautifully.
- If you prefer a velvety texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth.
- For an extra creamy touch, stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 5 minutes on low heat.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!
Notes
For a lighter version, swap the heavy cream for coconut milk. Ensure proper browning of sausage and sautéing of onions for optimal flavor.
