Equipment
- 1 small pot
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup onion minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- 2 cups coconut milk
- ½ teaspoon curry
- ¼ teaspoon garam masala
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne powder
- splash heavy cream
Instructions
- Sauté the aromatics: In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, sauté until soft and fragrant (about 3 minutes).
- Add the pumpkin: Stir in the pumpkin puree and cook for another 2 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
- Pour in the coconut milk: Add the coconut milk and stir well. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Season the soup: Add the curry powder, garam masala, and cayenne. Stir and let it cook for 5-10 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse.
- Finish with cream: If you want a creamier texture, add a splash of heavy cream and stir.
- Blend if desired: You can leave the soup chunky or blend it for a smoother texture using an immersion blender.
- Serve and enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle with a little more coconut milk or heavy cream, and serve hot!
Notes
- For extra creaminess, use full-fat coconut milk — it gives the soup a rich, silky texture.
- Want a little kick? Add more cayenne or a spoonful of red curry paste.
- If you like a smoother soup, blend it with an immersion blender before serving.
- Canned pumpkin makes this super easy, but roasted fresh pumpkin works great too.
- The flavors get even better the next day — perfect for meal prep or leftovers.
- If it thickens after chilling, just stir in a splash of broth or coconut milk when reheating.
- Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds, a drizzle of coconut cream, or a squeeze of lime for extra flavor.
- Make it heartier by adding lentils, chickpeas, or shredded chicken.
