SAVORY PUMPKIN SOUP

Savory Pumpkin Soup image

This is a savory pumpkin soup, as an alternative to those with pie-like seasonings. Some in my family don't appreciate the more traditional pumpkin spices, and this recipe is very savory and welcomed by all! This is a yummy, adaptable soup. I have also tried various options, with much success. For a sweeter taste, add some well-cooked and pureed sweet potatoes. Butternut squash also matches well. Shrimp is a nice addition. I cooked some and then added to the dish before serving. This soup also works very well in a crock pot. Wait to add the sour cream until close to serving time. I did try it without sour cream, and that was nice as well, but I prefer the creaminess.

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can organic pumpkin (you may also roast a pumpkin yourself)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves
4 cups chicken stock or 4 cups vegetable stock
1 cup water
1/2 bunch organic kale (about 1/2 lb)
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon cumin
5 baby portabella mushrooms, cleaned and sliced thin
1 (4 ounce) container sour cream (I use fat-free)
salt and pepper, to taste
shrimp or chicken, I added shrimp and it was very tasty

Steps:

Chop garlic and cook in olive oil for 30 seconds - 1 minute. Add the pumpkin, and vegetable/chicken stock, water, curry powder and cumin. Bring this to a boil and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use an immersion/stick blender to blitz the soup until smooth. Add sliced mushrooms (and chicken or shrimp, if desired). Turn heat to low and simmer until kale is done.
Wash the kate well in a bowl of water. Separate the leaves from the stems. Discard the stems. Place a frying pan over a medium heat and fill with the kale. Put a lid on the pan, if you have one, and wilt the kale for three minutes, turning every so often so the kale cooks evenly. Remove from the frying pan to a chopping board and leave to cool completely.
Remove the soup from the heat and stir through the sour cream. Grind over some pepper and add salt to taste.
Chop the kale and add to the soup pot.
Taste for seasoning.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your soup the best flavor. Look for ripe, seasonal produce and use fresh herbs whenever possible.
Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many vegetables to the pot at once, they will not cook evenly. Add the vegetables in batches, and stir frequently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Season the soup to taste: Taste the soup throughout the cooking process and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until the soup reaches your desired flavor.
Garnish the soup before serving: A simple garnish can make a big difference in the presentation of your soup. Try adding a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

This savory pumpkin soup with ham is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your soup thick or thin, spicy or mild, this recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
