I’d never actually made pumpkin soup before – but how can it go wrong really? Everything pumpkiny is just delicious!
You will need the following ingredients:
- Olive oil
- 2 medium-large onions
- 3 cloves of garlic
- ginger
- 8 cups of broth (I used 6 cups of broth and 2 cups of water)
- 3 sweet potatoes
- 1 can of pumpkin purée
- 1-2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1-2 tsp cayenne or chilli powder
- 1-2 tsp curry powder
- 1/2 tsp ground corriander
- 1 can coconut milk
- Garnish (optional): sour cream, ground paprika, and pumpkin seeds
Chop onions. In a large pot, heat oil and cook onions, garlic and ginger (minced).
Peel and chop sweet potatoes. Add them to the pot, along with the broth, pumpkin purée, and spices
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover. Cook until potatoes are soft. Remove from heat and let cool, then blend.
Add coconut milk, stir and serve with a drop of sour cream, a sprinkle of paprika, and a few seeds!
