Spicy Pumpkin Curry Soup Recipe (Made With Deluxe Nutrition Pumpkin Powder)
Pumpkin powder is rich, concentrated and easy to cook with. This quick recipe shows you how to turn it into a smooth, delicious pumpkin soup in minutes.
Ingredients
- ½ cup Deluxe Nutrition Pumpkin Powder
- 2 cups warm water (for rehydration)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger (or 1 tsp ground)
- 1–2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp turmeric
- ½ tsp paprika (optional)
- 2–3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- Salt & pepper to taste
Key Trick for Pumpkin Powder
The smoothest results come from making a paste first. Mix equal parts pumpkin powder and warm water (½ cup powder + ½ cup water) to form a thick paste. Then add more liquid gradually while cooking. This prevents graininess and gives a silky soup.
Method
- Sauté the onion, garlic and ginger in oil or butter until soft.
- Add curry powder, cumin, turmeric and paprika. Toast for 30 seconds.
- Stir in the pumpkin paste.
- Add broth gradually while stirring. Simmer 10–15 minutes.
- Pour in coconut milk.
- Blend for extra smoothness (optional).
- Adjust thickness with broth or extra simmering.
Taste Adjustments
- Pumpkin powder has a naturally sweet, nutty flavour.
- Add a pinch of salt early to balance it.
- A squeeze of lime at the end brightens the flavour.
- If too thick → add broth.
- If too thin → simmer longer (powder thickens over time).
Pro Tip
Pumpkin powder is more concentrated than purée. Start with less — you can always add more. Flavour develops after simmering, so don’t judge too early.
