Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Soups Starters
Everyone knows pumpkin soup, but smoked paprika elevates it to a whole new dimension with a little twist. The meeting of sweet pumpkin and smoky aroma is exciting, softened by creamy coconut milk, and complemented by the crunchy texture of toasted pumpkin seeds. A simple autumn soup that still exudes a festive atmosphere.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Large pot
  • Hand blender
  • Frying pan for the seeds

Instructions

1 ✓

Finely chop the onion, crush the garlic. Dice the pumpkin.

Tip: Hokkaido pumpkin doesn't need peeling, the skin cooks down, but other varieties (e.g., Butternut) are worth peeling.
2 ✓

Sauté the onion in the oil until translucent, then add the garlic. Remove from heat and stir in the smoked paprika.

Tip: Due to its high sugar content, paprika becomes bitter in seconds in hot oil, which is why you must remove it from heat.
3 ✓

Return to the heat, add the pumpkin, toss, then pour in the stock. Season with salt and pepper.

4 ✓

Cook covered for approx. 20 minutes until the pumpkin is completely soft.

Tip: It's done when you can easily crush the cubes with a wooden spoon.
5 ✓

Remove from heat and blend until smooth with a hand blender. Stir in the coconut milk and warm through (do not boil for long).

6 ✓

Meanwhile, toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry frying pan for a few minutes until fragrant and popping.

Tip: Toasting brings out the aroma of oil seeds (Maillard reaction).
7 ✓

Serve the soup sprinkled with the toasted seeds.

Recipe FAQ
