Pumpkin Curry Soup is a vegan recipe made with pumpkin puree and warming spices like curry powder, garam masala, and aromatics. This flavorful and creamy soup is perfect for fall or winter nights and is ready in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients

For the Soup:

  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, peeled and roughly chopped (about 1 cup or 120 grams)
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped (2 tablespoons or 20 grams)
  • 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and chopped (1 1/2 tablespoons or 15 grams)
  • 3 cups (750 milliliters) vegetable stock
  • 1 tablespoon (7 grams) curry powder (Jamaican preferred)
  • 1/2 tablespoon (1 gram) Middle Eastern Spice Blend or garam masala
  • 2 teaspoons (12 grams) kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
  • 1 3/4 pounds (820 grams) pumpkin puree or 1 29-ounce can (822 grams) packed pumpkin
  • 1 1/2 cups (375 milliliters) coconut milk

For Garnishes:

  • Chopped cilantro leaves
  • Coconut cream (not cream of coconut)
  • Toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

Instructions

  1. SAUTÉ THE AROMATICS: Heat the olive oil in a 6-quart dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger to the pot once the oil begins to shimmer. Sauté the aromatics for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  2. SIMMER THE SOUP: Add the pumpkin puree, curry powder, Middle Eastern Spice Blend, salt, cayenne, and vegetable stock to the pot with the aromatics. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. BLEND THE SOUP (OPTIONAL): After simmering, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Stir in the coconut milk. Serve garnished with cilantro and coconut cream.

Notes

  • Using canned pumpkin is a good alternative if fresh pumpkin is not available.
  • For a spicier soup, use Madras curry or more garam masala.
  • Coconut milk can be substituted with canned coconut milk.
