This Spicy Pumpkin Soup is a creamy, comforting dish made with roasted pumpkin, spicy chili peppers, and warm seasonings. It’s perfect for chilly days and packs a flavorful kick.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 jalapeño peppers, chopped (or use other spicy peppers to taste)
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 cups pumpkin puree (fresh roasted or canned)
  • 3 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian version)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or use coconut milk for dairy-free version)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnishes: cream or yogurt, pumpkin seeds, chopped herbs

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and peppers. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until they begin to soften.
  3. Add the garlic, cumin, and cinnamon. Cook for another minute, stirring.
  4. Stir in the pumpkin puree and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
  5. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth (or transfer to a blender in batches).
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and heat through. Adjust with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot with optional garnishes.

Notes

  • Use spicier peppers like serrano or habanero if you want more heat.
  • Coconut milk is a great alternative for a dairy-free version.
  • You can roast your own pumpkin or use canned puree for convenience.
  • Garnish with pumpkin seeds or a swirl of cream for presentation.
