This pumpkin soup with coconut milk tastes incredibly creamy, slightly fruity and so delicious. On rainy fall days it warms you from the inside and makes you full. You can make it at home easily and quickly with ordinary ingredients. A detailed coconut pumpkin soup recipe with the exact quantities and step-by-step instructions can be found here at the bottom.
Especially creamy
Thanks to the generous portion of canned coconut milk, this soup has a particularly creamy consistency. In addition, potato provides even more creaminess and makes the dish thicker, similar to the creamy vegetable soup.
You can experiment with the consistency of the coconut pumpkin soup according to your taste. If you prefer it more liquid, add more vegetable broth and less coconut milk. Instead of potato you can use other vegetables.
Coconut pumpkin soup with ginger and orange juice
Orange juice adds a unique flavor to the soup. It makes it slightly fruity and even more aromatic. It is important that you use freshly squeezed orange juice.
Ginger provides a certain spiciness in the coconut milk pumpkin soup. This makes it especially warming, just like the pumpkin lentil soup. You can adjust the amount of ginger as you like.
More vegetables
In addition to pumpkin, I used a potato in the recipe. It makes the soup even more creamy and binds it. Alternatively, you can omit the potato.
Or add more vegetables to the soup. Bell pepper and carrot, among others, go very well with it. Clean and cut the vegetables into cubes, fry them briefly together with pumpkin and then cook them.
How to serve coconut milk pumpkin soup?
The pumpkin soup with coconut milk is ideal as a main meal for lunch or dinner. It is filling, healthy and warming. Serve it with fresh naan bread, baguette or whole wheat bread.
The soup also passes perfectly as an appetizer. For the main course you can then serve, for example, the pumpkin pasta bake, stuffed tomatoes or Uzbek plov vegan.
How to store coconut pumpkin soup?
Store leftover coconut pumpkin soup in a soup pot with the lid on in the refrigerator. It will keep there for up to about 5 days.
Before serving, you can warm up the coconut milk pumpkin soup on the stove. If it becomes too thick, thin it with some vegetable broth, similar to the vegan ramen soup.
