Main Ingredients
- 2 cups pumpkin puree (freshly made or canned)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Juice of 1 lime (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat, then sauté the finely chopped onion, garlic, and freshly grated ginger until soft and fragrant to create a flavorful foundation for the soup.
- Add the spices: Sprinkle in the curry powder and stir well to coat the aromatics, cooking for about one minute to release the spice oils.
- Incorporate pumpkin and broth: Add the pumpkin puree along with the vegetable broth, stirring to combine smoothly. Bring to a gentle simmer to allow flavors to meld.
- Stir in coconut milk: Pour in the coconut milk and whisk until fully blended, creating a rich and creamy texture. Heat thoroughly without boiling to maintain the delicate coconut flavor.
- Season and blend: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and lime juice if desired. Use an immersion blender or regular blender (in batches) to purée the soup until luxuriously smooth.
- Final touches: Return the soup to the pot and warm through one last time. Adjust seasoning if necessary before serving hot.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut milk for best creaminess and flavor.
- Season gradually, tasting to balance salt and curry spices perfectly.
- Don’t skip the fresh ginger for brightness and to cut creaminess.
- Simmer gently and avoid boiling coconut milk to prevent curdling.
- Add fresh lime juice right before serving to lift the flavor.
