Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, and fresh ginger. Sauté until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. This step builds the flavor foundation.
  2. Add Spices and Pumpkin: Sprinkle curry powder into the pot and stir for 1 minute to gently toast the spices. Then add the pumpkin puree and mix well with the aromatics.
  3. Pour in Liquids: Slowly add the vegetable broth and coconut milk while stirring to create a smooth soup base. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow the flavors to meld over 15-20 minutes.
  4. Blend for Creaminess: Use an immersion blender directly in the pot or carefully transfer the soup to a blender. Blend until silky smooth for a luxurious creamy texture.
  5. Season and Finish: Return the blended soup to heat if needed. Stir in lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust curry or spice level as desired. Serve hot, garnished with preferred toppings.

Notes

  • Use freshly ground curry powder for a brighter, more complex flavor.
  • Don’t skip blending to ensure a smooth, silky texture essential for this soup.
  • Adjust consistency by adding more broth if too thick or simmer longer to thicken.
  • Taste gradually when seasoning as curry powders can vary in intensity.
  • Enhance with garnishes like crunchy seeds, fresh herbs, or a drizzle of coconut cream.
