    This Pumpkin Curry Soup is super nutritious, warming and comforting and really easy to make!

    I love making curry-flavoured pumpkin dishes (such as this Chickpea Pumpkin Curry or this Chickpea Pumpkin Biryani) and I love how creamy and comforting pumpkin soups are (like this Miso Pumpkin Soup and this Creamy Pumpkin Gnocchi Soup), so I thought I'd try combining the two!

    Why you'll love this Pumpkin Curry Soup

    This soup is pleasantly spiced, luxuriously smooth and has a wonderful natural sweetness. It's a great way to pack loads of veggies into a meal without even realising it, and is the best way to get rid of a cold! I'd also really recommend it for meal prep as it's so easy to make in big batches to store individual portions in the fridge or freezer for another time.

    I like to add some beans to my soups before blending as it's a good way to add extra protein and fibre, and also creates a seriously creamy texture.

    How to make this Pumpkin Curry Soup

    Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe.

    • Fry the onion, garlic and ginger.

    • Add the spices and fry for a minute until fragrant.

    • Add the pumpkin, white beans, stock cube, coriander (cilantro), coconut milk, salt + pepper and water.

    Tip: Use a measuring jug to measure out the coconut milk.

    • Bring to the boil and then cook on a low heat until the pumpkin is soft enough to pierce with a fork.

    • Use a blender or food processor (a hand-held stick blender also works) to blend until it becomes a smooth liquid.

    Tip: Add some more water if it’s too thick at this stage.

    • Transfer the soup back to the saucepan to heat it up again if you like.

    How to serve this Pumpkin Curry Soup

    Inspired by my coconut bacon and almond bacon, I decided to make some curry-flavoured coconut flakes. Just fry some coconut flakes with maple syrup, curry powder, salt and pepper, and you'll have the most addictive sweet-salty, deliciously spicy snack! Whilst they're delicious devoured by the handful, they also make a great topping for this soup as they add a lovely nutty flavour and crunchy texture.

    This soup also tastes great served with white rice, brown rice, quinoa, bread or a sandwich!

    How long does this Pumpkin Curry Soup keep for?

    This soup keeps covered in the fridge for up to a few days and can also be frozen - can be reheated in a pan on the hob (stove) with extra water if necessary.

    Substitutions you can make to this recipe:

    • you can substitute the white beans with chickpeas
    • you can substitute the pumpkin with sweet potato or butternut squash
    • you can add any other vegetables you like.

    Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or vegetable or rapeseed oil)
    • 1 onion , diced
    • 1 cm (½ inch) ginger , peeled and minced
    • 2 garlic cloves , minced
    • 1 heaped teaspoon curry powder to taste
    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
    • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
    • 1 teaspoon garam masala
    • 800 g (28 oz) pumpkin , diced and with the skin cut off (or sub butternut squash or sweet potato)
    • 400 g (14 oz) tin of white beans , drained and rinsed (cannellini beans, haricot beans or butter beans)
    • 1 vegetable stock cube (ensure gluten-free if necessary)
    • Handful fresh coriander (cilantro) , roughly chopped
    • 200 ml (⅘ cup) coconut milk
    • Salt + pepper to taste

    For the curried coconut flakes:

    • 8 tablespoons flaked coconut
    • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (or sub any other sweetener)
    • ¼ teaspoon curry powder
    • Salt + pepper to taste

    Instructions

    • Heat up the oil in a large saucepan
    • Once hot, add the onion, ginger and garlic, and fry for around 10 minutes until soft
    • Add the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, paprika and garam masala, and fry for a couple of minutes until fragrant
    • Add the pumpkin, white beans, stock cube, coriander, coconut milk and salt + pepper, and enough water to roughly cover
    • Bring to the boil and simmer on a low heat for around 15 minutes, until pumpkin is soft enough to gently pierce with a fork
    • Once the pumpkin has cooked, transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender (or use a hand-held stick blender) to whizz until completely smooth - add more water to thin out if necessary

    For the curried coconut flakes:

    • Place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well
    • Heat in a frying pan on medium heat for around 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp
    • Set aside on a plate, making sure they're spread apart as this will help them crisp up

    To serve:

    • Serve into bowls and scatter over the curried coconut flakes
    • Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for up to a few days and also freeze well - can be reheated in a pan on the hob (stove) with extra water if necessary.

      I have discovered your recipes today through Pinterest. I have tried the blueberry muffins which were successful and I have now printed off two soups to try. What I noticed is that your printed recipes don't have your contact/website/social media details on them. It might be an idea to add this information to each as people might forget from which website they printed off the receipt in the first place. Just an idea.
