CURRY PUMPKIN SOUP



Curry Pumpkin Soup image

This is a wonderfully soothing and savory soup - a perfect choice for a holiday party or dinner. Adjust the amount of curry and soy sauce for spiciness. Adjust the amount of half-and-half, or substitute heavy cream or milk for varying levels of creaminess. Also, you can add sauteed chopped sweet onions with the first three ingredients (this works best with a creamier version).

CURRIED SOUTHWESTERN PUMPKIN SOUP



CURRIED SOUTHWESTERN PUMPKIN SOUP image

Categories     Vegetable

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, chopped fine
1 clove garlic, chopped fine
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, chopped fine
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
4 cups water
15 oz. can pure pumpkin
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn
Optional:
salsa
cheddar cheese
cilantro
sour cream

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a pot at medium heat. Add onion, cook for 3-5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute. Add curry powder, stir and cook for 1 minute. Add water and bring to a simmer. Add pumpkin, salt and sugar and mix well. Add the remaining ingredients and bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve soup with optional ingredients for more flavor.

Tips:

  • Use ripe pumpkin: For the best flavor, use a ripe pumpkin. Look for one that is deep orange in color and has a firm, heavy feel.
  • Roast the pumpkin before using: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. To roast the pumpkin, cut it in half, remove the seeds, and drizzle with olive oil. Roast the pumpkin at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes, or until it is tender.
  • Use a variety of spices: This recipe uses a blend of curry powder, cumin, and chili powder. You can adjust the amount of each spice to taste. For a spicier soup, add more chili powder. For a more mild soup, reduce the amount of chili powder.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and parsley, add a lot of flavor to this soup. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs. However, fresh herbs will give the soup a brighter flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: This soup is delicious on its own, but it can also be served with a variety of toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, yogurt, avocado, and tortilla chips.

Conclusion:
