Why This Spiced Pumpkin Soup is a Must-Try for Vegetarians

The challenge with vegetarian soups is often achieving depth and richness without animal-based broths or fats. Fortunately, this recipe hits all the right notes. Zindrew’s Garlic Chili Oil provides that essential umami and spice, ensuring every spoonful is loaded with flavor. The vegetable broth keeps it light and wholesome, while the coconut milk (or heavy cream) adds just the right amount of creaminess for a silky texture.

This soup makes a wonderful standalone meal or a starter for a larger spread, whether for a weeknight dinner or a holiday gathering. It’s so flavorful that even non-vegetarians will come back for seconds!

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 29 ounces pure pumpkin purée
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk (or heavy cream for extra richness)
  • Garnish: Drizzle of coconut milk or heavy cream

Instructions

Sauté the Aromatics:

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Add Garlic and Bay Leaf:

Add the minced garlic and bay leaf, cooking for an additional minute to release their fragrance.

Mix in Pumpkin and Spices:

Add the pumpkin purée, grated ginger, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, paprika, cloves, and a few cracks of black pepper. Stir until everything is well combined.

Incorporate Broth and Zindrew's Magic:

Pour in the vegetable broth and 2 tablespoons of Zindrew's Garlic Chili Oil, ensuring the oil is evenly distributed for that signature heat and umami.

Simmer to Perfection:

Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook on low heat for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop. Remove the bay leaf before blending.

Blend Until Smooth:

Use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot until velvety smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend carefully.

Finish with Creaminess:

Stir in the coconut milk (or heavy cream) and maple syrup. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
