I love the fall. I actually love all four seasons, but fall has a special place in my heart. I enjoy the cool air, the way the colorful leaves dance in the breeze and I especially have an affection for Pumpkins. My mantle is full of a beautiful display of assorted varieties of colorful pumpkins and gourds that makes me smile every time I walk past it. I’m also a fan of all of the great ways pumpkin shows up in the kitchen this time of year. One of my favorites is a ridiculously simple and quick pumpkin soup which originally came from Marisa McClellan and Food In Jars:
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons curry powder (use your favorite)*
- 2 pints pressure canned pumpkin (with their canning liquid)
- 1 can coconut milk
- sea salt to taste
Curried Pumpkin Coconut Soup Ingredients
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons curry powder (use your favorite)*
- 2 pints pressure canned pumpkin (with their canning liquid)
- 1 can coconut milk
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
Combine onion and coconut oil in a small soup pot. Cook until onion softens and browns. Add curry powder and cook until it is fragrant. Add pumpkin cubes, their canning liquid and the coconut milk. Stir to combine. Add up to one coconut milk can of water should it need a bit of thinning.
Bring to a bubble, reduce to a simmer and place a lid on the pot. Cook until onions are tender.
When soup is done, blitz it with an immersion blender. Taste and add salt as necessary.
Eat and enjoy.
Notes
*If you don’t have any home canned pumpkin, use 1-15 ounce can of commercial pumpkin and one can of water. I have always just used commercial pumpkin from the grocery store and it worked great.
*Curry can be a bit spicy for some, so use a smaller amount if you are not a huge fan of really spicy flavors.
Pumpkin is also a nutritional powerhouse.
