Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 ml) pumpkin puree
- 1 can (14 ounces / 400 ml) coconut milk
- 2 cups (480 ml) vegetable broth
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Optional: fresh cilantro
- Optional: lime juice
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium temperature, gently sweating onions and garlic until translucent and aromatic, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Sprinkle curry powder into the pot, stirring continuously to prevent burning and release deep, warm spice notes for about 60 seconds.
- Pour in pumpkin puree, creamy coconut milk, and vegetable broth, whisking thoroughly to create a smooth, uniform liquid base.
- Increase heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then immediately reduce temperature to low, allowing the soup to simmer and develop rich flavors for 15-20 minutes.
- Taste and carefully adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper, ensuring a balanced and harmonious flavor profile.
- Ladle the velvety soup into serving bowls, then enhance with a vibrant garnish of freshly chopped cilantro and a zesty lime juice drizzle for a bright, tangy finish.
Notes
- Swap pumpkin puree with roasted butternut squash for a deeper, caramelized flavor profile.
- Use light coconut milk to reduce calories without compromising creamy texture.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for subtle heat that complements the curry’s warmth.
- Prepare soup ahead and freeze for up to 3 months, making meal prep incredibly convenient.
