Spicy Pumpkin Chai Soup Recipe

Today’s Unique Creation: Spicy Pumpkin Chai Soup

Ever since the temperatures dropped and the leaves started changing colors, I’ve been craving warm, comforting soups to cozy up with. Today, inspired by the fall season and my love for all things spicy, I’ve decided to share my recipe for Spicy Pumpkin Chai Soup.

This unique soup combines the earthy sweetness of pumpkin with the aromatic spices of chai tea, resulting in a flavor explosion that will warm you from the inside out. It’s the perfect dish to enjoy on a chilly autumn evening or to impress your friends at a fall gathering.

Ingredients:

• 400g pumpkin puree
• 2 chai tea bags
• 250ml coconut milk
• 500ml vegetable broth
• 30g fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Kitchen Tools:

• large pot
• immersion blender
• measuring cups
• knife
• cutting board

To start, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant. Next, add in the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, vegetable broth, chai tea bags, chili powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Once the soup has cooked, remove the chai tea bags and discard them. Then, using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve the Spicy Pumpkin Chai Soup hot, garnished with a drizzle of coconut milk and a sprinkle of chili powder for an extra kick.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1200g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs 300g and is approximately 250 calories.

Tip: For an extra special touch, serve the soup in hollowed-out mini pumpkins as edible bowls. Not only does it look impressive, but it adds a subtle pumpkin flavor to each spoonful.

I hope you’ll give this Spicy Pumpkin Chai Soup a try and make it your own with any additional spices or toppings you love. Enjoy!
