Best 3 Crock Pot Southwestern Pumpkin Soup Aka Korma Soup Recipes

CROCK POT SOUTHWESTERN PUMPKIN SOUP (AKA KORMA SOUP)

Steps:

• In a hot skillet, toast the cloves, coriander seeds, and peppercorns.
• Add the ground spices to the whole ones in the skillet- the cumin, chile powders, cinnamon, garlic powder, and nutmeg, and toast the mixture over high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes or until the spices begin to smoke.
• Remove from heat, let cool, and grind together to a powder (an electric coffee grinder works well for this); set aside.
• Pour the stock, half and half, and evaporated milk into the crock pot; stir well, cover, and turn on high.
• Put the pureed pumpkin into a large bowl, then add the maple syrup, salt, and the now-powdered spice mixture; use a whisk to incorporate the mixture well.
• Add the pumpkin mixture to the liquids in the crock pot, whisking it well to make sure there are no lumps.
• Cover and let simmer on high for 2 to 3 hours.
• Garnish servings with grated cheddar cheese and toasted cashew pieces.
• Many thanks to Michael for creating this wonderful soup! :).

EASY CROCK POT PUMPKIN SOUP

Steps:

• Roughly chop the pumpkin - most pumpkins you can leave the skin on because the crock pot cooks over such a long period - and place in the crock pot.
• Chop potatoes up into cubes, dice onions, place in crock pot.
• Put remaining ingredients in crock pot.
• If you don't want very thick pumpkin soup, add some water (careful - crock pots don't lose much water).
• Turn crock pot to auto - I usually either put it on before I go to bed for the next morning, or when I get up in the morning for that evening's meal.
• Pumpkin and potatoes should be very soft when ready for the next step.
• Using either a blender or a hand held barmixer, blend until very smooth.
• Serve with crusty bread, topped with grated cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
• This soup freezes very well, and lasts a decent length of time in the fridge. I do find that it will need some water added if you freeze or refrigerate it.
• For Vegetarian use only the Vegetable broth.
