Getting the Most From Slow Cooker Pumpkin Bisque

Now I have made pumpkin cakes and pumpkin pies, but this fall I decided to try something a little different: a pumpkin bisque.I started by heading to Main & Vine in Gig Harbor. I also made sure to pick up fresh organic veggies for my slow-cooker pumpkin bisque recipe.

Here’s another pointer: to save on spices, purchase them in bulk! Not only will you save a ton of money this method, but you’ll keep your spices fresher, which will make your recipes shine.

Tips That Make a Difference

More importantly, here’s what you’ll require: 2 cans of pumpkin puree 1 stalk celery, diced 1 carrot, diced 1 cup diced sweet onion 1 apple, peeled, cored, and chopped (I used Honeycrisp) 3 cups chicken broth 1 cup half & half 1/3 cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon cardamom 1 tablespoon curry powder 1/4 teaspoon cloves 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ginger Salt & pepper, to taste (I used generously in my soup!) 1. Begin by pulling out your slow cooker; you’ll require it!

Put the carrots, onion, apple, celery, both cans of pumpkin puree, and the chicken broth in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-6 hours.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Remember that next, it’s time to puree! If you have an immersion blender, awesome.

You can go ahead and apply that. I don’t own one, but I do have a Vitamix and it does the trick. (Most high-speed blenders should be fine as well.) I just put the soup in the blender in small batches, and turned it on low.

Is Slow Cooker Pumpkin Bisque Worth It?

As a rule, as the veggies are all genuinely soft, it doesn’t take much to puree them at this point. Once your soup is all pureed, work in the half and half, brown sugar, and spices.

Hint: if you prefer, you could apply pumpkin pie spice as opposed to applying the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger if you prefer (I’d apply 1-2 tablespoons, to taste). Stir and let simmer in the slow cooker about 20 minutes or until ready to serve.

Where the Real Savings Hide

In short, my kitchen smelled so delicious at this point, and my daughter had to ask what I was cooking. Now you could top your soup with any number of aspects, but I found some delicious honey sesame roasted pumpkin seeds at Main & Vine.

They actually had all kinds of pumpkin seeds to pick from. You could also apply croutons or a sprig of fresh herbs.
