Prepare the Soup
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sugars are dissolved and fragrant.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic.
- Gradually whisk in the whole milk and heavy cream until fully combined and smooth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, ensuring it doesn't boil.
- Once simmering, whisk in the creamy cookie butter and 1/4 cup honey until completely dissolved and the soup is smooth.
- Give the cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 tbsp cold water) a quick stir, then slowly whisk it into the simmering soup. Continue to whisk gently for 2-3 minutes until the soup slightly thickens to your desired consistency. It should be coating a spoon.
Serve and Garnish
- Remove from heat and ladle the warm soup into serving bowls.
- Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of crushed cookies (like Biscoff), and an extra drizzle of honey, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
The soup will thicken slightly more as it cools. If it becomes too thick, you can thin it with a little more milk or cream while gently reheating. For an even smoother soup, you can blend it with an immersion blender before adding the cornstarch slurry, though whisking should be sufficient for a smooth texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat.
