Simple Pumpkin Soup

Simple Pumpkin Soup
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, minced
  • 5 slices thick-cut reduced-sodium bacon, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves stripped and finely chopped
  • 1 red squash - peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 gallon chicken stock, or more as needed
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste


  1. Heat a large soup pot over medium-low heat; add olive oil and heat until it starts to smoke. Decrease heat to low and add onion, bacon, celery, garlic, and rosemary to the hot oil. Cover pot with a lid and cook until onion is tender and bacon is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. Mix squash, carrot, paprika, and cayenne pepper into onion-bacon mixture; return lid and increase heat to medium-low. Cook squash mixture, stirring occasionally, until squash is softened and nearly cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  3. Pour chicken stock over squash mixture and increase heat to medium-high; cook until squash is cooked through, about 10 minutes more. Remove pot from heat and cool soup slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Blend soup using an immersion blender until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Add more chicken stock for a thinner soup.
