To achieve the perfect consistency and flavor in your creamy crockpot tomato pumpkin soup, selecting the right broth is essential. A good-quality vegetable broth enhances the overall taste while complementing the pumpkin and tomato base. When adding the broth, aim for a ratio that maintains a thick yet creamy texture—typically, about 4 cups should suffice for a soup that can be enjoyed with a spoon but isn't overly runny. If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the broth to 3 cups.

Ingredients
  

1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes

1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 cups vegetable broth

1 cup coconut milk (or heavy cream for a richer taste)

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Croutons or toasted bread, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In your crockpot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, and olive oil. Stir them together to let the oil coat the onion and garlic, helping to release their flavors as they cook.

    Add the Tomatoes and Pumpkin: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and pumpkin puree. Mix well to combine.

      Introduce the Broth: Add the vegetable broth to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.

        Season It Up: Sprinkle in the dried basil, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, and cinnamon. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly.

          Set the Cooker: Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it on low heat for 6-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours. The soup is ready when the onions are completely softened.

            Blend for Creaminess: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the coconut milk (or heavy cream) for a creamy texture. For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to blend until desired consistency. If you prefer a chunkier texture, skip this step.

              Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.

                Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil or parsley. For an extra touch, top with croutons or serve alongside toasted bread.
