Sluggish Cooker Pumpkin Bisque Recipe (Easy & Scrumptious)

For sure, fall is my favourite season. I like every part about it – the colour of the leaves, the scent of a sizzling apple crisp, the crispness of the climate. And, to not be forgotten, I like all issues pumpkin! Now I’ve made pumpkin desserts and pumpkin pies, however this fall I made a decision to attempt one thing slightly completely different: a pumpkin bisque.I began by heading to Main & Vine in Gig Harbor. That they had all types of pumpkins out and fall goodies – be sure to swing by!

I additionally made certain to choose up recent natural veggies for my slow-cooker pumpkin bisque recipe.

Right here’s one other tip: to save lots of on spices, purchase them in bulk! Not solely will you save a ton of cash this manner, however you’ll maintain your spices brisker, which is able to make your recipes shine.

Here’s what you’ll want:

• 2 cans of pumpkin puree
• 1 stalk celery, diced
• 1 carrot, diced
• 1 cup diced candy onion
• 1 apple, peeled, cored, and chopped (I used Honeycrisp)
• 3 cups hen broth
• 1 cup half & half
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ginger
• Salt & pepper, to style (I used generously in my soup!)

1. Begin by pulling out your sluggish cooker; you’ll want it!

2. Put the carrots, onion, apple, celery, each cans of pumpkin puree, and the hen broth within the sluggish cooker. Prepare dinner on low for 4-6 hours.

3. Subsequent, it’s time to puree! When you have an immersion blender, superior. You’ll be able to go forward and use that. I don’t personal one, however I do have a Vitamix and it does the trick. (Most high-speed blenders ought to be positive as effectively.) I simply put the soup within the blender in small batches, and turned it on low. Because the veggies are all actually delicate, it doesn’t take a lot to puree them at this level.

4. As soon as your soup is all pureed, work within the half and half, brown sugar, and spices. Trace: if you happen to want, you may use pumpkin pie spice versus utilizing the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger if you happen to want (I’d use 1-2 tablespoons, to style). Stir and let simmer within the sluggish cooker about 20 minutes or till able to serve.

My kitchen smelled so scrumptious at this level, and my daughter needed to ask what I used to be cooking.

Now you may high your soup with any variety of issues, however I discovered some scrumptious honey sesame roasted pumpkin seeds at Fundamental & Vine. They really had all types of pumpkin seeds to select from.

You can additionally use croutons or a sprig of recent herbs. Take pleasure in!
