Best 3 Sweet And Savory Pumpkin Cauliflower Soup Recipes

SWEET AND SAVORY PUMPKIN-CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spray cut sides of pumpkin with cooking spray. Place pumpkin halves, cut-sides down, in a roasting pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pumpkin is soft, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven, and allow to rest until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Scrape pumpkin flesh into a blender and discard skins.
• While pumpkin is cooling, place frozen cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until fork-tender, about 3 minutes. Add cauliflower to the blender with pumpkin flesh. Add skim milk and evaporated milk and puree until smooth. Transfer mixture to a microwave-safe bowl and stir in brown sugar, marjoram, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
• Microwave on high until soup is heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.

JUDY'S PUMPKIN SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and leek in melted butter until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, pumpkin puree, curry powder, salt, white pepper, ground ginger, and bay leaf to onion mixture; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Remove from heat to cool. Pour broth mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Return pureed mixture to pot and bring to a boil.
• Gradually stir half-and-half into pumpkin mixture; cook until soup is heated through, 5 to 10 minutes.

SAVORY PUMPKIN SOUP

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.
