directions

  • Melt the butter in the pan you are making the soup in, fry the onion and garlic for 2 minutes, add the curry, cumin and cayenne pepper, fry a few minutes more.
  • Add the pumpkin and the apple, mix, and then add the stock.
  • Bring to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for 40 to 50 minutes.
  • I use a hand-held blender to blend the soup but otherwise let the soup cool and blend in the food processor.
  • Add the lemon juice and check the seasoning.
  • Serve with the parsley sprinkled over, sour cream (or yoghurt) and nice bread.
  • For vegetarian use vegetable stock.

  1. "Another pumpkin soup recipe" Pets in this description you DON"T nearly do this recipe JUSTICE!!!!! Hubby made two of these on the same day with a pumpkin each, one is exactly as written and the other he added piri piri to kick it up a notch, he then had visitors to lunch and they not only raved about it but also wanted the recipe. (they ate the non spicy one) I've just been enjoying the spicy one for dinner ( but also had a taste of the other) and guess what I'm taking to work for lunch tomorrow! This is NOT "just another soup" it has buckets of flavour and we are lovin' it !!!! Thanks !!!
     
  2. This is a really nice pumpkin soup recipe! Just enough spice, creamy pumpkin flavor with the citrusy tang added. Yum! I scaled it down to ~3 servings, which seemed to work ok, and I only had lime, so I used that instead of lemon. Reminded me a bit of a thai soup - that yummy curry squash flavor. Thanks!
     
  3. A truly divine pumpkin soup and a perfect light meal on a chilly night -- even our Brazilian exchange student wolfed it down. I used a butternut pumpkin (Australians say pumpkin rather than squash), a Granny Smith apple, 1 1/2 litres of chicken stock and the juice of a lemon. I was out of cayenne, so subbed chilli powder. Garnished with coriander and thick yogurt. This is a keeper.
     
  4. I'm sitting here eating this right now. It's good on a cold winters day, with just enough spice to allow the pumpkin flavour to come through. The only change I made was to add 3 sticks of celery that would have gone to waste otherwise.I made a double lot and will freeze it, because I love home made soup.
     
  5. This is a great spicy soup. The lemon juice is a nice addition. I've never had apple in my pumpkin soup before but it added a nice sweetness to this soup. Thanks!

Hello, my name is Bonnie and I am a very beautiful cat as you can see if you look at the picture at the top of this page.... What??.. I am supposed to talk about you??? But it says here: About Me!! Well all right then ...... My mom is Dutch and has moved to England in October 2007, after living 15 years in the Netherlands with my English dad. They don’t have any human children and “created” their own family, which means I have to share them with Hannah, she is a 6 years old tortie cat, Abby the dog, she is a 9 year old Beagle, and a one year old black Miniature Pincher named Poppy, I refuse to tell you my age but I am a georgious lilac British Shorthair cat!! It is obvious she adores pets just by looking at her name she uses on Zaar (many on Zaar call her Pets or Petsie Poo), her name in real life is Annelies and that is a common Dutch name. My mom always liked to cook, but since she joined Zaar it got out of control, and it doesn’t help that she is disorganized. Printed recipes everywhere in the house, the recipe binders have got bigger and just between you and me, her hips too!!! I have lived in Holland all of my life until now, but they lived in several different countries/places:- desert and coastal Oman, up North and West in Holland, Vancouver-Canada, Aberdeen- Scotland and in Norway they lived in Bergen and Oslo. We have all moved together to England, as you can see I’ve already learnt the language! I heard her say to Dad that this is the last time she moved to another country...she's had it with moving from one place to another! ( its her age...she's getting grumpy) Mom is 55 years old but I always hear her say that the date of her birthday does not mean that much to her, the date of her cancer anniversary is more important, because so far she is a survivor. Besides cooking she has other interests too, crafts, gardening and soap making. She likes Zaar and is one of the hosts on the German-Benelux Forum here on RecipeZaar. She would like to thank everybody who tries and comments on the recipes she has posted on Recipezaar, your feedback is very much appreciated. <img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/vjuhl/MEPcookathon.jpg"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/berriesblinkie.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/FFF/completedbanner.gif"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Animation1.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/4treasurehunt.gif"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/purplechefhat.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/chef3.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>
