Hearty Pumpkin Soup with Ham

Blend and Add Ham

Start by warming some olive oil in a big pot over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, and cook them until they’re soft and fragrant, about five minutes. Next, add the pumpkin, chicken broth, water, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a sprinkle of celery seed. Let everything come to a 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 puree 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 through before serving.
