Spicy Ginger Pumpkin Soup

Delicious, perfect to makebin bulk and freeze

It was okay

Could you use canned pumpkin for this?

Hey Betsy, you can use canned pumpkin if you'd like! Since it's already cooked and puréed, you may need less water to reach the right consistency. Add it after simmering the broth and blend as usual 🤗

What kind of pumpkin do you recommend for this recipe?

Hey Hannah! We used a classic round orange pumpkin, like the kind you’d see at Halloween. I know in Europe, "pumpkin" can refer to various types of squash, like butternut or kabocha, which can definitely be confusing! For this recipe, we specifically used a traditional orange cooking pumpkin - or what we simply call "pumpkin" in North America. For reference, my husband's aunt had a HUGE pumpkin growing in her garden (it was so big it gave Cinderella vibes), and she sliced me off a big chunk which I then used to make this soup recipe. If you'd prefer, a sugar pumpkin (a smaller, sweeter version of the Halloween pumpkin) or even butternut squash would work well too. Just steer clear of decorative pumpkins - they’re too watery/bland for cooking. Hope this helps! 😊

I am in my easy soups season and it was really easy to make especially with frozen, already cut pumpkin cubes 🙈 oh and i used rice cream instead of soy, it worked too.

Very tasty, loved it!

A soothing recipe to comfort a sore throat. So quick and easy to make especially with frozen veggies. Will be making it again!

Love this 😀 ❤️

Yummy

This is the first PUL recipe that I tried. What an amazing soup! Love that spicy kick; lovely on cold days!

Yay so glad that the first recipe was a success, Stella! We're excited to share more delicious adventures together 🫶

Délicieusement piquant et réconfortant à la fois

Easy to make, filling and delicious! It's easy to add different produce and still have a nice hearty soup!

I made this soup yesterday and it turned out amazing! I’ve added a big carrot into it (serving for 3 people) so it was more creamy. The ginger made the soup cozier and "warm" which I liked a lot:)) a great soup for autumn🍂

Really lovely and simple pumpkin soup. I simplified it further by not adding paprika, pepper and chilli and reducing the ginger slightly - in part to make it toddler palatable. It’s a light soup, not very thick, but I don’t mind that.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the soup, Anne-Marie!

Delicious!

Nice and easy. Pressure cook the pumpkin beforehand if you want cooking time to be even shorter!

Great refreshing soup with a nice kick from te ginger

I followed the recipe step by step. The consistency of the soup is too watery for me. Therefore the taste of ginger is very present in comparison to the pumpkin.

Hey Anne, we're sad to hear this! The soup is indeed a more light, not too thick soup. We've heard a few similar reviews though, so we've dropped the amount of water a touch and also adjusted the amount of ginger based on the feedback - thanks so much for helping us improve our recipes! :)

This was nice! I think I require more spice and less sweet, but overall great

Ended up being a bit too heavy on the ginger for me but that is easily adjusted. Otherwise easy and tasty recipe.

The consistency and flavors of this recipe were great. I ended up adding lemon juice, a dash of allspice and some cinnamon as well.

I loved the soup flavor and texture with extra minced garlic added with the ginger because I’m hopelessly addicted. It’s my new go-to smooth winter soup. The texture was smooth after blending in batches - much like a store bought tomato soup.

It was “too gingery” for my family, so we added pumpkin purée to stretch out the leftovers and they loved this milder, and thicker smoothie like version.

Hehe ginger and garlic lovers unite 🙌 we're so happy that the soup was enjoyed, Jill, and love the idea to add more pumpkin puree if needed!

This soup is indeed very delicious. I supplemented fresh ginger for dried grounded one and fresh pumpkin for frozen. And I didn't take the absolute exact amount of measurements. I added a little or put a little bit less of one or another ingredient. And for me, it added up to just the right amount of spice and heat. And i am savouring this soup right now. Did a big pot of it, so i have another 2 servings tomorrow for lunch and the rest i put into my freezer.

Very tasty. Although it was a bit watery for me but I might have followed it incorrectly.
We added some butter beans for some extra protein which worked fairly well.

Creamy and delicious !
This may be my winter go-to soup.

Very easy and delicious pumpkin soup. I made 7 servings. I only used a little less water to make the soup thicker. Recommend was 9 1/3 cups and I used 8 cups. For the ginger lovers I recommended to use a little more ginger ;)

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the soup, Astrid! As ginger lovers we approve 😜

Loved it! Very easy and comforting.

I personally found the soup a bit bland and better balanced with some acidity, which we added via lime. I also upped the salt and spice.

Conforting, slightly spicy and delicious! That's what I would Say if I've had to describe this soup. Thanks for your recipe!

Loved the spicyness, was very handy when I got cold. It was like a medicine.

A very delicious and light soup, I love it! Great with some bread on a cold day.

Wow, this was yum.
When I started to make it, I saw that I had one ingredient missing which I thought I obviously have - ginger. So I put garlic. It still turned out great.

And the app is great. Love the Make, Add to grocery and add in weekly meal features.

I added almost 2x of pumpkin than the recipe calls for to make it thicker as otherwise it’s a very runny soup. Extremely delicious though and perfect with the croutons 😍

A lovely idea to thicken it, Maryna, we're glad it was enjoyed with the croutons too 😃

Delicious and quick, so it was perfect for a last minute dinner. So yummy with some bread on the side!
