Alright, so it’s not just five ingredients, but I’m betting you’ve already got the basics like flour, salt & pepper, soy sauce, and sugar.

Pumpkin Curry Soup Ingredients Unsalted butter: We use unsalted to control the saltiness. White flour: All-purpose flour is ideal for thickening. Yellow curry powder: Use a quality curry powder you know you love! Chicken stock or broth: Use quality store-bought; use vegetable stock for a vegetarian swap. Canned pumpkin: Pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling. Half and half: Adds creaminess; equal parts whole milk and heavy cream works instead! Soy sauce: For umami flavor and to season the soup. Light brown sugar: For subtle sweetness. How To Make Pumpkin Curry Soup Melt butter: In a pot. Whisk: Flour and curry powder. Add broth: Gradually, then bring to simmer. Mix in pumpkin: With half and half and sugar. Season: Soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer: Until warm and slightly thick. Serve: Garnished with optional pepitas and crusty bread for dipping!

Crusty Focaccia or Rolls: Perfect for dipping. Rice or Quinoa: Absorbs the soup’s flavors for a fuller meal. Naan or pita: Great for dipping. Caramelized onions: Flavorful topping.

InstructionsROUX: In a large pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Sprinkle flour and curry powder on top. Whisk until completely smooth and then cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute to deepen flavor. Gradually add 1 cup of chicken broth, continuing to whisk constantly to maintain a smooth consistency.THICKEN SOUP: Slowly pour in the remaining chicken broth while whisking. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Stir in the pumpkin, half and half, and sugar (if using). Let the soup simmer until it's warmed through and thickens slightly (note: this soup is not meant to be overly thick). Stir in soy sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper. (I usually just add a pinch of each!)ENJOY: Ladle the soup into bowls. For added presentation (see Note 4). Optionally, sprinkle roasted pepitas on top for crunch. Serve with crusty bread, if desired. Video Recipe NotesNote 1: Pumpkin: Ensure you use pure canned pumpkin, not the pumpkin pie filling. Note 2: Dairy: Half and half, an equal mix of whole milk and heavy cream, is located near milk and cream in stores. If unavailable, combine 3/4 cup of each as a substitute. Note 3: Soy sauce: Adding soy sauce doesn't create an odd taste; it just enhances the soup's flavors. Use regular soy sauce instead of lite or low-sodium versions. Note 4: Drizzle a little half and half over each serving. To do this, hold a spoon just above the soup and slowly pour the half and half over it, allowing it to disperse gently.
