  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 cup heavy cream (Optional)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream, or to taste (Optional)

Stir in sugar substitute, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Pour in chicken stock and stir to combine. Whisk in pumpkin puree, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes.
  2. Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and adjust salt, if necessary. Garnish with a drizzle of heavy cream and crushed walnuts.
