Ingredients
-
¼ stick butter
-
1 medium onion, finely chopped
-
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
-
2 tablespoons sifted flour (such as Wondra®)
-
2 ½ cups chicken stock
-
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
-
2 tablespoons chicken soup base (such as Better than Bouillon®)
-
1 tablespoon vegetable bouillon base (such as Better Than Bouillon® Vegetable Base)
-
1 ½ teaspoons pesto
-
1 ½ cups heavy cream
-
2 teaspoons salt
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
ground black pepper to taste
Directions
-
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley and increase heat to medium-high. Add flour, stirring constantly, and cook until it thickens, about 2 minutes. Slowly add chicken stock, stirring constantly. Add pumpkin puree and stir until well combined. Stir in chicken base, vegetable base, and pesto. Bring to a very low boil and let it bubble for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
-
Puree soup on low speed with an immersion blender until creamy, about 30 seconds. Add heavy cream, salt and garlic powder; stir until thoroughly mixed. Ladle into soup bowls and top with pepper.
Cook's Note:
If you don't have an immersion blender, pour the soup into your blender and blend on low speed just long enough to get it fully blended and smooth.
