A delightful and creamy soup that combines the sweetness of corn with the rich flavor of pumpkin.
Heat the chicken broth in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Using low-sodium broth allows you to control the salt level in the soup.
Add the chopped onion and sweet corn to the saucepan and bring to a gentle boil.
If using frozen corn, no need to thaw beforehand; it will cook perfectly in the broth.
Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the onion is tender, about 15 minutes.
Covering the saucepan helps retain the flavors and moisture.
Stir in the pumpkin puree and mix well until the soup is smooth.
Ensure the pumpkin puree is well blended for a consistent texture.
Add the milk, pepper, and cayenne pepper, stirring continuously until heated through.
Stirring continuously prevents the milk from curdling.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Serve with a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal.
