Creamy Coconut Milk Pumpkin Soup

 

Cream of Pumpkin Soup is basically as the title suggests. It is simply a smooth, creamy, tasty and full bodied soup usually served as is.

 

This is a popular soup in many countries. Some people call this a bisque and it is made with cream. To make this a little different with a Jamaican twist, I add coconut milk instead of cream.

 

This makes a delicious warm appetizer before a meal or it can also be used as your main meal. If you also prefer more ingredients in your soup, you can also add whatever you like. Sometimes I may add small pieces of boneless chicken, corn, carrots, or other vegetables. And other times, we eat it just as is. It is also a fairly easy soup to prepare.

 

 

Ingredients

 

 

  • Pumpkin
  • Garlic
  • Ginger
  • Onion
  • Chicken Broth or bullion cubes diluted
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Cinnamon
  • Butter
  • Coconut Milk

 

 

Preparation Steps

  1. I basically boil pieces of pumpkin in chicken broth with a little butter, diced onions, a little ginger and garlic.
  2. When pumpkin is cooked, I blend small amounts of the broth mixture and pumpkin at a time in a blender that will blend smooth, until all blended.
  3. Add pureed liquid to a separate bowl as each batch is blended.
  4. Then pour it all back into the pot.
  5. I then add a cup of coconut milk, a little salt and a little cinnamon while stirring to combine.
  6. Simmer for about 10 minutes and serve. Garnish with a little fresh basil or parsley if desired.

 

I know there are a lot of good blenders now on the market, but I have always used the Oster brand that seems to always hold up. The key is just getting a good, durable blender.
