Pumpkin Curry Soup
Description
Pumpkin Curry Soup starts with sautéing chopped onion and garlic in olive oil and butter until soft. Curry powder, turmeric, salt, and black pepper are stirred in to release their fragrances. Then broth and canned pumpkin puree are added and brought to a boil before simmering to deepen the flavors. The soup is finished by stirring in evaporated milk for creaminess.
Using an immersion blender to puree the soup achieves a smooth consistency, balancing the earthy pumpkin with the warm spices. The turmeric adds a mild color and subtle flavor that complements the curry powder. The butter and olive oil combination provides richness and body.
This soup is served warm, suitable for a starter or light meal during cooler weather. It pairs well with bread or as part of a multi-course meal. The recipe notes the source as adapted from Nestle, indicating tested flavor profiles and balance.
