Secret Pumpkin Soup Varieties that Spice Up Your Meal

by KC Kudra

Pumpkin soup is one of those recipes that has many variations. While most people think of only classic pumpkin soup, there are many other ways to create a soup out of pumpkin. One of the easiest recipes is for a honey roasted pumpkin soup. The ingredients are drizzled with honey before roasting. Then it is made into soup.

Another easy pumpkin soup variation to try is pumpkin and cheese. This is a simple soup you can make using canned pumpkin puree. Simply add in your ingredients like spices, cream, broth, brown sugar and some grated cheddar cheese. Serve this soup with some fresh rolls or melt some grated cheese on top until it is bubbly and delicious.

A further variation on pumpkin soup uses Marsala wine and real maple syrup. The rich flavors combine to create a delicious soup. Always use real maple syrup for this variation. Imitation syrups do not create the same flavors in your soup.

You can also change the flavor of your soup by trying a new cuisine. Take your basic pumpkin soup and change the spices. Before you know it, you will have a Mexican, a Thai, a Haitian, or a Jamaican soup instead. While they all started with the same base, the spices will prevail, changing the flavor and making a new soup.

If you want a more exotic flavor to your soup, try pumpkin curry soup. This soup uses a light, aromatic curry that adds a little spice. Stronger curries are not recommended due to the possibility of overwhelming the pumpkin flavor. This soup can be made easily with canned pumpkin at any time of year. It also makes a wonderful appetizer to serve with any meal.

Specialty ingredients can also alter the results of your soup. Bacon adds a nice smokiness to the soup, while chocolate will make the most delicious dessert soup. Pumpkin soup can be spicy, too. Peppers of various types as well as curry and other spices can be used to create a complex flavor. Peanut butter can make a distinctive soup when mixed with pumpkin and sausage. This is a fast recipe that can be put together in a short amount of time.

It is common for fall produce to be used in pumpkin soup. Apples are often added, as are other winter squashes and even sweet potatoes. These ingredients will give different levels of flavor to your soup and make it more complex. Add some herbs to create more of a savory flavor. In the heat of summer, make a chilled pumpkin soup that will keep you cool as a cucumber.

It really does not matter what variation of pumpkin soup you make. The results will be a rich, delicious soup that will fill you up and warm you to your core. The velvety texture of this creamy soup is satisfying on all levels. It may become a new favorite for your family or friends. If cooking time is at a premium, throw your ingredients in the crockpot and let them cook all day long. You can enjoy it in the evening at your leisure.
