Hearty Pumpkin Soup with Italian Sausage

We’re not really the ones over here roasting whole pumpkins and scraping out the flesh to make pumpkin soup. I know those recipes have their time and place but it’s not here.

There’s nothing wrong with using perfectly delicious canned pumpkin from the store to get this creamy Sausage Pumpkin Soup Recipe on the table in a normal amount of time for dinner!

This pumpkin soup is also pretty loaded with Italian sausage because well, sausage. It really does belong in most soup recipes in my opinion. All kidding aside, we added sausage to this soup to make it a little more hearty, if you have growing boys like we do, dinner has to be tasty AND filling!

How Do You Make Pumpkin Soup?

All you need to do is cook down onions and carrots, brown Italian sausage and get a can of pumpkin puree. These are the basic ingredients to make this pumpkin soup, along with chicken stock and cream.

I can’t stress enough that you need to use good chicken stock when you’re making any soup recipe. If you use a water-like chicken broth the soup is going to taste like that. Weak and no flavor.

Can I Use Canned Pumpkin To Make Pumpkin Soup?

Like I said before, hell yeah. Let’s make things easy when we can, ok? I’ve tried making fresh pumpkin puree and I have to tell you, I like the canned stuff better.

Also, you’re going to need to use unsweetened pumpkin puree, not the sweetened kind like you would use for making a pie. Grab a good quality can of pumpkin from the grocery store and get on your way home.

I’m sure you have better things to do than roasting whole pumpkins today. Try one of our Pumpkin Cheesecake Martinis with all your spare time!

What Can I Serve With Pumpkin Soup?

Since this creamy pumpkin soup recipe is pretty rich, you’re going to want a crisp salad or maybe roasted vegetables on the side. Really, all I need is this sausage soup and a loaf of bread to call it a meal.

But if you’re making this soup for a dinner party or want to stretch it out for a crowd, sides are always good!
