Recipe View 5 mins Carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender (or use an immersion blender). Blend until smooth and creamy. Return the pureed soup to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Warm gently over low heat, being careful not to boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with a swirl of cream or a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds, if desired.

For a vegetarian version, substitute the andouille sausage with plant-based sausage or sauteed mushrooms. Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon for extra warmth. If you don't have praline liqueur, substitute with a splash of vanilla extract and a tablespoon of maple syrup.

    This soup was amazing! The praline liqueur added such a unique and delicious flavor.

  • Vaughn Bode

    A little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the brown sugar by a couple of tablespoons.

  • Laurie Parkerohara

    I used sweet potato instead of pumpkin, and it was still fantastic. So easy to make!
