Whip Up a Bowl of Spicy Pumpkin Soup: Perfect Fall Comfort Food!

Feeling Festive: Spicy Pumpkin Soup Recipe

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that perfectly captures the cozy and comforting vibes of fall. As the weather starts to cool down, there’s nothing quite like a warm and creamy soup to get you in the autumn spirit. This Spicy Pumpkin Soup recipe is a unique twist on a classic favorite, featuring unexpected flavors that will surely impress your taste buds.

To start off, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 small pumpkin (about 800g)
• 1 can of coconut milk (400ml)
• 1 serrano chili, sliced
• 1 tsp of ground cumin
• A handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, juiced
• 500ml of vegetable broth
• 2 tbsp of olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Make sure you have these essential kitchen tools ready:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• large pot
• immersion blender

To begin, start by peeling and chopping the pumpkin into small chunks. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the pumpkin until slightly browned. Add in the sliced serrano chili and ground cumin, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Next, pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy.

Season the soup with salt, pepper, and lime juice, adjusting the flavors to your liking. Serve the Spicy Pumpkin Soup hot, garnished with chopped cilantro for a fresh and zesty kick.

The total weight of this delicious Spicy Pumpkin Soup is approximately 1200 grams, with enough servings for 4 people. Each serving weighs around 300 grams and packs a warm and spicy punch perfect for chilly evenings.

A clever tip for this recipe is to roast the pumpkin before adding it to the soup for an extra depth of flavor. Simply drizzle the pumpkin chunks with olive oil and roast in the oven until caramelized before proceeding with the recipe. Trust me, it’s worth the extra step!

I encourage you to give this Spicy Pumpkin Soup a try and make it your own by adding your favorite toppings or spices. Let me know in the comments how you enjoyed this unique twist on a fall classic. Happy cooking!
