Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large pot over medium. Add onion and cook until deep golden, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Pour in broth and pumpkin puree. Stir until smooth and bring to a gentle simmer.

  3. Step 3

    Simmer uncovered for 6 minutes so flavors meld. Season generously with salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Blend soup with an immersion blender until silky and completely smooth, about 90 seconds.

  5. Step 5

    Ladle into bowls. Dollop each with crème fraîche and swirl gently with the back of a spoon.
