Here you can find my pumpkin soup with coconut milk recipe …
This soup is ideal for the guest kitchen.
When I prepare this soup for my loved ones in the fall, it sometimes turns into a pumpkin stew.
What makes this preparation so special?
It’s the combination of coconut milk, curry and turmeric, plus glazed apple pieces, goji berries (superfoods), mint (refreshing) and, if desired, chicken breast or shrimp.
This is simply a hit and super easy to prepare.
As a basis I use Hokkaido pumpkin, learn a lot of tips in the article.
I wish you good luck!

You can also buy turmeric as a spice and use it instead of fresh turmeric.

Deglaze with the dry white wine and fill up with water – the pumpkin pieces should be well covered.

Pluck the mint leaves and cut them into fine julienne (thin strips).

Yes, after the curry, the soup can use a little more sugar, I like to use cane sugar and give the soup a balanced taste!

5.1 Soup Preparation
- Prepare the pumpkin: Cut the Hokkaido pumpkin in half with a knife, scrape out the seeds with a spoon and remove.
- Prepare the vegetables: Cut off any unattractive parts of the pumpkin skin and the stem ends, cut the pumpkin with the skin into small pieces.
- Make soup: Put a piece of butter in a hot, large pot, let it foam up and then sauté the pumpkin pieces in it.
- First seasoning: After about 5 minutes, add some finely chopped ginger and garlic and sweat for 5 minutes.
- Deglaze the soup: Deglaze with white wine and vegetable stock and bring the soup to the boil.
- Second seasoning: add curry and turmeric and stir in.

- Blend soup: Blend the soup with a hand blender, let it simmer for another 5-10 minutes.
- Season to taste: Now season with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and some orange juice and tamari.
- Strain: I did not pass this soup through a sieve, this creates a velvety soup.

–> Apple: Cut in half, cut into quarters and then into slices, sauté briefly in butter.
–> Power berries: Add goji berries briefly to apple and gently warm.
–> Mint: Pluck beautiful tips or cut finely detailed into thin strips.
–> Chicken, shrimp or tofu: Cut into bite-sized pieces to taste and sauté briefly.
5.3 Arrange perfectly

–> Pour soup: Pour freshly mixed soup into the side using a beak cup.
Your guests will surely be happy.
If there are vegetarians or vegans, simply leave out the chicken breast or replace it with a few slices or cubes of smoked tofu.
You can serve the soup with a little more to your loved ones as a pumpkin stew for dinner .
With meat, shrimp or tofu, this soup makes everyone happy!
