Today’s Unique Dish: Spiced Pumpkin Apple Soup

Growing up, fall was always my favorite time of year. The crisp air, the changing leaves, and of course, all the delicious seasonal flavors. Today, I’m sharing a recipe that combines two classic autumn ingredients in a unique and unexpected way: Spiced Pumpkin Apple Soup.

To start, gather these ingredients:

• 1 small pumpkin, peeled and diced
• 2 apples, cored and chopped
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 can coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

You’ll also need these kitchen tools:

• soup pot
• immersion blender
• wooden spoon
• chef’s knife

Start by heating the olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant. Toss in the chopped apples and diced pumpkin, stirring to coat in the aromatic mixture.

Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, allowing the soup to come to a gentle simmer. Season with curry powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Let the flavors meld together as the soup cooks for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.

Once the ingredients are soft, use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasonings to your liking, adding more salt or spices if necessary.

Serve the Spiced Pumpkin Apple Soup hot, garnished with a swirl of coconut milk and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. This cozy and comforting soup is perfect for chilly autumn evenings.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1800 grams, yielding 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 450 grams and contains approximately 250 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to roast the pumpkin and apples before adding them to the soup for a deeper, richer flavor profile. This extra step adds a lovely caramelized sweetness to the dish.

I hope you give this Spiced Pumpkin Apple Soup a try and enjoy its unique blend of flavors. Feel free to make it your own by adjusting the spices or adding toppings like toasted pumpkin seeds or a drizzle of balsamic reduction. Happy cooking!
