- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan for the pumpkin spice bread.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs with granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, pumpkin puree, and buttermilk until smooth and combined.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- While the bread bakes, prepare the pumpkin soup by melting butter in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add the pumpkin puree and broth to the pot, stirring well. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes to meld flavors.
- Use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender to puree the soup until smooth. Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm until serving.
- Let the pumpkin spice bread cool completely before slicing. Serve alongside the creamy pumpkin soup garnished with fresh sage and thyme.
- Enjoy this cozy combination perfect for chilly autumn days or Thanksgiving gatherings.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use fresh pumpkin puree if possible for the best flavor, but canned works well too.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep your pumpkin spice bread tender and moist.
- Simmer the soup gently to avoid breaking down the cream or causing separation.
- Garnish soups and desserts with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a festive touch.
- Allow baked goods to fully cool before slicing to maintain their structure.
Storage and Reheating
Store pumpkin spice bread wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Pumpkin soup keeps well in the fridge in a sealed container for 3-4 days.
To reheat soup, warm gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally. For the bread, warm slices in a toaster oven or microwave briefly for a fresh-baked feel.
