To me, the fall season is full of coziness, fires, sweaters, and changing leaves. Fall is one of my favorite seasons, but it also means the start of a snowy season here in Colorado, which means soup! I love trying tons of soup recipes, especially ones that involve any sort of squash (and spice). I tried one similar to this from Whole Foods and knew that I needed to make my own so I could have it whenever I want! This Pumpkin Curry Soup recipe has both pumpkin and a little kick of spice. It also is packed full of lots of other hidden veggies and only takes about 30 minutes!
This is the type of soup that is velvety and smooth- one of my favorite kinds of soup! I know this is not everyone's favorite type of meal, though, especially in my house. However, I have found this is the perfect soup to go with a sandwich or salad for lunch if you have those kinds of people in your house, too!
I love a soup that you can easily pack tons of veggies into because it not only makes it really nutrient-dense, but it also makes more soup that you can have for leftovers or even freeze for later. I always make a double batch of every soup for this exact reason. They freeze well or make the perfect lunch for a few days! Soups like this that you can add lots of veggies to, also make it really easy to clean out your fridge from the week before.
Tips for Pumpkin Curry Soup:
- Be sure you get plain pumpkin versus pumpkin pie filling when you are looking for it in the store!
- Add any leftover root veggie that you like to this soup.
- If you don't have an immersion blender, you can blend it in your blender. Just be sure to leave the lid open enough to let the steam out.
- If you want to add another level of flavor, you can roast the veggies in the oven first.

Pumpkin Curry Soup
Ingredients
- 1 quart Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Avocado Oil
- 1 Red apple- roughly chopped
- 3 Carrots- roughly chopped
- 1 White onion- roughly chopped
- 1 can (15 oz) Pumpkin
- 1 can (15 oz) Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon Almond butter Can sub cashew butter
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ginger powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large pot to medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon avocado oil, apple, onion, and carrots to the pan. Saute for about 5 minutes or until onions are translucent.
- In this same pan, add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil (about 10 minutes). Once it is at a boil, let it simmer for 10 minutes- the apples and carrots should be very tender at this point.
- Turn the heat down and use your immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can also blend carefully- being sure to leave the lid cracked for the steam to escape.
- Serve and Enjoy!
