Pumpkin soup is a fantastic way to warm up on a cool or cold Autumn night. It was a perfect meal on Easter Sunday on a cool Canberra night.

Pumpkin soup
Pumpkin soup is a favourite of many. I added some red chillies, jalapeño pepper and chilli flakes to make this soup a bit spicy along with a good nob of ginger to add a slight Asian feel.
- 1/2 piece Kent pumpkin (It can be any kind really)
- 2 pieces Potatoes (Any kind will do)
- 1/2 piece White onion (diced)
- 100 grams Bacon (diced)
- 1 nob Ginger (fresh, cut and crushed)
- 1 teaspoon Chilli flakes
- 1 teaspoon Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 piece Red chilli (diced)
- 1 piece Jalapeño pepper (diced)
- 1/2 bunch Parsley (chopped)
- 1/2 cup Cream
-
In a large saucepan sauté the onion and bacon until softened
-
Add the ginger and stir until it’s soft
-
Tip in the pumpkin and potato pieces
-
Pour in boiling water halfway up the level of the top piece of visible pumpkin or potato to avoid the soup being too thin
-
To the soup add the garlic powder, curry powder and chilli flakes
-
Bring the soup to the boil and simmer with a lid on for 30 minutes
-
Process the soup with a stick blender
-
Add the chopped red chilli and jalapeño pepper
-
Pour in the cream and stir
-
You could fold in some parsley but I just blended it in
-
Then you plate it up in a bowl and garnish with more parsley
-
Shoot a photograph and drink the soup
-
Edit the footage from two cameras and keep swearing about the slow upload speeds in Belconnen

Thank you so much Angie for linking to my pumpkin soup recipe 😃
That looks so rich and warming.
It was pretty comforting Serina 😃
Oohhh – pumpkin soup is my favourite! I have a recipe in the works. Will have to try yours. Never put peppers or chilli in my pumpkin soup before. Sounds interesting! And now we have perfect ‘soup’ weather.
Thanks, Nadia,
Since returning from Delhi earlier this year I’ve wanted to add chilli to everything 😃
Canberra is certainly the soup capital I reckon.
Mmm it’s definitely getting to be soup weather Gary. I really like the sound of your pumpkin soup! 😀
Thanks Lorraine. I think this winter in Canberra will be a cold one.
Looks great! Full of lovely spice!
Thanks Michele, I’m not fond of soups that don’t have a bit of a kick to them 😃
