Winter Warmer Pumpkin and Turmeric Soup

Golden Comfort in a Bowl

When the weather cools, there is nothing quite as soothing as a bowl of warm pumpkin soup. This version pairs sweet, creamy pumpkin with turmeric and coconut for a nourishing twist that is both comforting and uplifting. Whether you enjoy it as a simple lunch, a light dinner, or a batch-prepped staple for the week ahead, you’re going to love how grounding and flavourful this recipe is.

How to Create It

1. Heat coconut oil in a large saucepan and gently cook onion and garlic until softened.

2. Stir through the fresh turmeric and cook for another few minutes until fragrant.

3. Add stock and pumpkin, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer until pumpkin is tender.

4. Allow to cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and process until smooth.

5. Stir in coconut milk, season with salt and pepper, and serve warm.

Optional: Roast the pumpkin first for a deeper, caramelised flavour. Keeping the skin on adds extra fibre and texture.

Why Pumpkin and Turmeric Shine

Pumpkin is naturally rich in fibre and provides a comforting base that blends into a creamy texture without the need for heavy cream. Fresh turmeric adds its golden colour and earthy flavour, while also being a traditional spice valued in many cultures for its place in warming, wholesome cooking. Together, they create a soup that feels both satisfying and revitalising.

Warm, Nourish, and Share

This soup makes a wonderful starter or a light main, especially when paired with crusty sourdough or a fresh side salad. Make a big pot and enjoy it over a few days, or share with family and friends for an easy, heart-warming meal.
