Exploring New Flavors: Cinnamon-Spiced Pumpkin Soup

As the weather starts to cool down and the leaves begin to change colors, I find myself craving warm and comforting dishes. Today, I am excited to share with you a unique recipe for Cinnamon-Spiced Pumpkin Soup that combines the rich taste of pumpkin with the warming spice of cinnamon. This dish is perfect for cozy autumn nights or as a festive appetizer for a holiday gathering.

Ingredients:

• 1 small pumpkin, peeled and diced (500g)
• 1 onion, chopped (100g)
• 1 carrot, chopped (50g)
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tsp of ground cinnamon
• 4 cups of vegetable broth
• 1 cup of coconut milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp of olive oil

Kitchen Tools:

• large pot
• blender
• knife
• cutting board
• wooden spoon

To start, heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and garlic, and sauté until softened. Next, add the diced pumpkin and ground cinnamon, stirring to coat the vegetables in the spice. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.

Once the vegetables are cooked through, remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Using a blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Return the mixture to the pot and stir in the coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the Cinnamon-Spiced Pumpkin Soup hot, garnished with a drizzle of coconut milk and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch of flavor.

This recipe makes approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 300g. One serving of this delicious soup is approximately 250 calories.

For a creative twist, try adding a dollop of Greek yogurt on top of each bowl before serving. The tanginess of the yogurt pairs perfectly with the sweet and savory flavors of the soup.

I hope you enjoy this Cinnamon-Spiced Pumpkin Soup as much as I do! Feel free to experiment with different spices or toppings to make it your own. Happy cooking!
