1-Pot Spicy Pumpkin Tomato Soup

Frigid winter days demand nothing short of effortless, soul-warming bowls of goodness – soups that are as cozy as a crackling fire on a cold morning. Our creamy and aromatic Spicy Pumpkin Soup combines the rich flavors of roasted pumpkin with the creaminess of coconut milk, tangy tomatoes, and a hint of warmth from our signature Caribbean-inspired spice blend. This classic dish is a true comfort food delight, effortlessly combining the familiar flavors of simplicity.

Even better? There’s a significant gap between when you order something and when it’s actually ready. Typically, this process takes around 30 minutes to an hour. Let’s make soup!

This pumpkin soup truly hits all the right notes and exceeds expectations in every way. Crafting a hearty dish requires a thoughtful blend of aromatics: finely chop the pungent onion, the piquant garlic, and the spicy ginger. Next, introduce a medley of familiar spices to awaken the senses. Then, rely on the convenience of pre-packed ingredients by opening a few cans, allowing their essence to meld with the simmering sauce.

The combination of spices boasts a vibrant Caribbean flair, incorporating cumin, coriander, and other essential elements to create a bold and spicy blend. While allspice is optional, its inclusion can significantly enhance the warm, aromatic flavor profile of the Jamaican-inspired soup.

Subsequently, we incorporate fresh tomatoes, rich pumpkin purée, and the creamy essence of coconut milk. This harmonious blend showcases a rich creaminess, expertly tempered by the tangy zip of the tomatoes.

The few remaining essential ingredients – water or a savory vegetable broth, complemented by the timeless simplicity of salt and pepper. Allow the soup to simmer gently and allow its complex flavours to meld together, before deciding whether to add a splash of creaminess.
