Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped red onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Add the diced potatoes and cubed pumpkin to the pot.
- Stir in the chili powder and dried coriander. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to absorb the spices.
- Pour in the chicken gravy, ensuring that the vegetables are fully submerged.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes and pumpkin are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Once the vegetables are tender, remove the pot from heat.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a countertop blender in batches and blend until smooth.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings, such as a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, or some roasted pumpkin seeds.
- Serve the spicy pumpkin soup hot, alongside crusty bread or a salad, if desired. Enjoy!
Tips:
- To enhance the flavor, roast the pumpkin beforehand until it is tender and slightly caramelized.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, blend the soup until smooth and then stir in a splash of cream or coconut milk before serving.
- Adjust the level of spice by adding more or less chili powder based on your heat tolerance.
- Experiment with fresh coriander in place of dried for a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
- For a vegetarian version, replace chicken gravy with vegetable broth.
- To make the soup ahead of time, prepare and refrigerate it, and then reheat it gently on the stove before serving.
Once you've ladled this Spicy Pumpkin Soup into bowls, garnish with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs to add a touch of elegance. Serve hot with crusty bread on the side to soak up every bit of this delicious soup. Enjoy the rich, spicy flavors that make this dish truly special.
