Directions
Warm some olive oil in a big pot over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, cooking them until they’re soft and fragrant, about five minutes. Next, add the pumpkin along with the chicken broth, water, a pinch of salt and pepper, and some celery seed. Let everything come to a gentle boil, stirring now and then. Once it’s bubbling, take the pot off the heat and stir in the milk and yogurt. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it’s nice and smooth. Finally, stir in the ham and let the soup sit for a few minutes so the ham warms up before serving.
Simple Serving Suggestions
Serve the soup hot with a crusty bread or garlic toast on the side. A sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme adds a nice touch. For extra creaminess, add a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
Storing This Dish
Let the soup cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months; just thaw and reheat gently on the stove.
