Coconut Curry Pumpkin Soup Ingredients
Specific ingredient measurements are found in the recipe card at the very bottom of the post. Here’s what you’ll need to make the soup:
- Olive oil
- Medium onion
- Leek, white part only
- Garlic cloves
- Fresh ginger
- Spices: curry powder, ground turmeric, coriander, and red pepper flakes
- Sugar
- Vegetable broth
- Cans of pure pumpkin puree
- Unsweetened coconut milk
How to Make Coconut Curry Pumpkin Soup
Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
Step 1: Saute the Vegetables and add Seasoning
Add the chopped onion, and leeks. Saute until softened; 5 to 7 minutes then stir in garlic and ginger. Cook for another minute.
Stir in the curry powder, salt, sugar, turmeric, coriander, and red pepper flakes; cook a few seconds more until fragrant.
Step 2: Stir in Pumpkin, Coconut Milk, and Broth
Then stir in the pumpkin, vegetable broth, and coconut milk (reserve a couple of tablespoons for drizzling on the finished soup if desired). Bring the soup to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until vegetables are soft.
Step 3: Blend the Soup
Transfer the soup to a blender (or use an emersion blender) and puree the soup until it’s smooth. Add additional water or broth as necessary to thin the soup as needed.
Return the soup to the Dutch oven to reheat briefly.
Ideas for Garnishing Soup
While the soup doesn’t need additional garnishes to be delicious, it’s fun to add toppings when you serve warm bowls of soup.
Here are a few ideas:
- Reserved coconut milk, drizzled over the top of each serving
- Chopped pumpkin seeds
- Fresh cilantro leaves
- Red pepper flakes
