PUMPKIN SOUP

Pumpkin soup is a hearty, warming dish for an autumn or winter evening. It makes one portion and combines creamy pumpkin purée with coconut milk for a smooth and velvety texture, but the cinnamon and nutmeg bestow an uncommon flavour. A base of sautéed onions and vegetable broth adds sweetness to the pumpkin as it rounds out the savoury taste. This is a simple and fast vegan and gluten-free soup that is really ideal for a light lunch or dinner and even as an appetiser. This pumpkin soup forms a nice meal for a cold winter’s evening while the simplicity of this seasonable recipe is added to it.

PREPARATION OF PUMPKIN SOUP

  • Sauté the onions: Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.

  • Add broth and simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth and let the soup simmer. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes, just allowing flavours to mingle together.
  • Stir in coconut milk: Pour in the vegetable broth, then simmer the soup. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes, just allowing flavours to mingle together.
  • Season and serve: Taste the soup to adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve it hot, garnished with a drizzle of coconut milk or cinnamon, if desired.

PREP TIME

COOKING TIME

10-15 minutes

TIPS

  • For a silky smooth texture, puree the soup with an immersion blender.
  • If you desire it thicker, you need to thin out the broth or add a boiled potato into the soup before blending it.
  • Roast fresh pumpkin or use roasted pumpkin purée in place of the canned pumpkin for an intense, more rich flavour.

VARIATIONS

  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to give it a spicy, smoky taste.
  • Coconut milk may be substituted by almond milk or heavy cream for an alternative level of creaminess.
  • Top it all off with a few fresh spinach or kale leaves, torn up and mixed in for a nutritional crown.
  • But for a more protein-rich version, add cooked lentils or chickpeas to the soup.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store the leftover pumpkin soup in a sealed container for up to 3 days. After that, reheat it over medium heat on the stovetop or the microwave and serve.
  • Freezing: Good to freeze. Let it cool completely and transfer it to containers that are safe for freezing. Freeze for 3 months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge and reheat before serving.
