At this time of year, I’m such a big lover of soup for lunch and always make sure my freezer is stuffed to the brim of different varieties that I have batched cooked. It is great knowing that I have healthy meals stored in the freezer for quick and easy lunches or dinners when I can’t be bothered to cook or having a busy day. This roasted pumpkin soup is simply made with Thai curry paste and coconut milk has fast become one of my favourites.
What I love about soup is how comforting it is; it’s just like a hug in a bowl. With such an abundance of seasonal pumpkin and squashes around right now you are hardly limited by the type of soup you can make. Whilst rummaging in my fridge the other week I picked out some leftover roasted pumpkins and decided to make a hug in a bowl for my lunch and the rest of the week.
- 600 g /4 cups roasted pumpkin or squash
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- 3 tbsp red Thai curry paste
- 1 litre vegetable stock
- Salt and pepper to taste
-
Pour all of the ingredients into a blender and blitz until smooth.
-
If the soup is too thick, add more water or vegetable stock.
-
Heat in the soup in a saucepan on a medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
-
Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freeze for a later date to reheat in the microwave.
I’ve been eating soup non-stop recently, it’s incredibly simple to whip up and makes great use of any leftover roasted pumpkin or squash so that they didn’t go to waste. Although I still love my salads and smoothies for a nutrient dense meal, I think soups are a great way to add to your 5-a-day in the colder months. There is nothing better than a lunch that is healthy and nutritious but also warms you up too!
This sounds like a beautiful combination – slightly sweet squash always goes so well with spicy Thai curry flavours!
The addition of coconut really makes me want to give this a try x
Oh gosh! I am now going to have to have soup for lunch! We are heading to a pumpkin field on saturday and i am getting some small pumpkins and squashes to make batches of soup with. I love this recipe. x
YUM. Love any kind of squash and coconut combo. The flavours work together so well don’t they? Lovely photos too.x
interesting twist to add coconut milk and the thai curry paste. It sounds delicious, though. I haven’t seen any pumpkin in shops yet, but when I do I will be making all things autumnal x
Oh this sounds very comforting and warming, perfect for autumn! I love butternut squash in soup, it’s lovely with toasted sweetcorn kernels on top.
Yum. I love a good pumpkin soup. This looks thick and rich, perfect for these chilly days.
Ohh what an interesting sounding combination of flavours coconut and pumpkin would make! I need to give this a try. x
I love all things pumpkin so I know I’d love this. I must make it. I’m also a huge fan of coconut.
I’ve made a pumpkin soup once and didn’t really like it but I do like the Thai twist to this recipe. I might give it another try 🙂
This sounds amazing, I love homemade soup and often make batches and freeze down of different varieties. Am making a chicken one today on my Daughters request, but will be trying this one x
Coconut? Oh yes! This sounds so amazing.
I haven’t had soup in ages and this one sounds lovely, I love pumpkins! I may have to make it this weekend – thanks for sharing x
Love a good pumpkin soup! This looks so yummy and cozy!

This sounds absolutely delicious, one of my kids loves pumpkin soup so will be trying this one out for us!
I love soups like this. They are fantastic at lunch or in the evening when you dont want anything too heavy, but something that will fill you up. I dont make many, but I do enjoy them.
