Step 1
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, which should take about 5 minutes. Then, add the pumpkin along with the 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 boiling, 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 it sit for a few minutes so the ham warms up before serving.

How to serve
Serve the soup hot with a side of crusty bread or garlic toast. A sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives on top adds a fresh touch. For extra richness, add a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid breaking the soup’s texture. This soup also freezes well; thaw overnight in the fridge before warming.
