Pumpkin is the quintessential autumn vegetable, with its inviting orange hue. In soup, it can sometimes be a little heavy and filling, but adding coconut milk lightens this pumpkin soup, making it deliciously creamy.

This pumpkin soup, with ginger and coconut milk, is spicy and full of flavour. Pumpkin seeds give it a satisfying "bite", which I think the soup really benefits from, as pumpkin itself has such a soft texture.

For this pumpkin soup, I used a peanut pumpkin from my vegetable garden, which is subtly sweet in flavour. You can basically use any kind of pumpkin (or squash) to make pumpkin soup.

Finishing pumpkin soup with coconut milk – 40 minutes

Heat a splash of olive oil in a large saucepan and sauté the onion, garlic, ginger and turmeric for a few minutes.

Once the onion has turned translucent, add the pumpkin pieces and cook for a few more minutes. Add the spices and fry for a minute.

Pour in 1 litre of vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer for around 20 minutes. The exact cooking time depends on the size of the pumpkin chinks. Purée the soup; you can do this with a regular blender or a stick blender.

Grate the orange zest, squeeze out the juice, and add both to the soup along with 200 ml of coconut milk. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more spices if desired.

Serve the soup with the remaining coconut milk, pumpkin seeds and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Enjoy!

Tips!

What is the best pumpkin to use for this soup?

You can basically use any kind of pumpkin or squash to make this pumpkin soup. However, calabash or red kuri squash work particularly well for soup.

Larger pumpkin varieties can be used, but they often have a little less flavour than the smaller varieties.

Which vegetables pair well with pumpkin?

Pumpkin works well with many other kinds of vegetables, including carrot, parsnip, courgette, leek, fennel and sweet potato, among many others.
