How to Make Apple Cider Pumpkin Bisque
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, sauté the chopped onion, carrots, and celery in a little olive oil over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree, apple cider, vegetable broth, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded.
- Remove from heat and carefully use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy (Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth).
- Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm and enjoy! Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
