Here is an healthy and creamy spicy pumpkin soup, full of flavor and very easy to make, especially if you prepare the fresh roasted pumpkin puree in advance. It is a warm and comforting dish perfect for fall and winter cold days.
The combination between sweet pumpkin and spicy chili is just great. If you have the possibility you can serve this soup in baked mini pumpkin bowls, with a drizzle of cream for an impressive presentation.
How to make Spicy Pumpkin Soup
The recipe for this soup is really easy and takes only few minutes to prepare. I usually like to roast the pumpkin in advance and have it ready for later.
In a stock pot cook onion for about 5 minutes until soft. Add carrot and garlic and saute for another few minutes. Stir in paprika. Add pumpkin puree, vegetable stock, chili pepper, and ginger, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 30-35 minutes. Remove from heat, cool slightly, and then puree the soup using a vertical blender or a food processor. Add salt and pepper as needed and serve with bread croutons or toasted pumpkin seeds and lemon juice.
We love this soup during the cold season. Hope you will try this amazing pumpkin spicy soup, tag me on Instagram if you do, and enjoy!

U are extremely talented and amazing. Plz Keep up the good work.
This was great! A bit of nutmeg really sets the flavors off, but do it at the end and just add small amounts at a time or else it will overpower the soup. I would also recommend adding an extra clove garlic as it really brings out a bit more flavor. Serve this with a good quality french bread stick (should be very hard on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside).
