Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chorizo in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Set aside.

  2. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add apples, onion, celery, and garlic, saute until aromatic and slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Add pumpkin, chicken broth, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to blend.

  3. Stir browned sausage into soup and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Serve with a swirl of heavy cream on top.

Recipe Note

Canned pumpkin makes this colorful, seasonal soup with chorizo a snap. Very good made a few days in advance of serving for flavors to develop! This recipe is very adaptable to individual tastes. Add more or less spices as desired.
