Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (15oz.)can solid-pack pumpkin
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ground ginger
4 cups chicken stock
1 cup water
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp dried marjoram leaves
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tbs cornstarch
*Use only solid packed pumpkin for this soup. Pumpkin pie filling is not a good substitute because it has extra sugars, seasonings, and emulsifiers which will make the soup too sweet and thin. Read labels carefully, and make sure that the ingredient list specifies just pumpkin and salt.

Steps:

  • 1.) In 3-qt slow cooker, combine pumpkin with onions, garlic, and ginger. Mash to combine. Gradually stir in stock, stirring with a wire whisk until blended. 2.) Add water, salt, pepper, and marjoram. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until soup is hot and blended. 3.) In a medium bowl, combine heavy cream, sour cream, and cornstarch; mix well. Stir into soup, cover, and cook on high for 30 minutes or until soup is hot.
