Pumpkin Apple Soup in a bowl

Taking the autumn chill off tonight with Pumpkin Apple Soup.  Pumpkins and apples pair perfectly in this warming harvest soup.

Utah’s harvest is in full swing and the Farmer’s market is bursting with locally grown produce.  Because Honeycrisp apples are large, juicy, and plentiful I had to use them in this curried pumpkin  soup.

Shopping at a Farmer’s Market is on the top of my favorite things to do besides having an overwhelming sense of gratitude for all the bounty, my head starts reeling with all the baking possibilities.  I munched down 3 Honeycrisp apples while strolling through the booths.  Heaven…shear heaven.

Let’s make Pumpkin Apple Soup:

  • Gather all of the ingredients.  Measure, chop and prep.
  • In a large heavy pot add ghee (or coconut oil) diced onion, apple, and crushed garlic.
  • Saute over medium heat until onions and apples are soft.  About 10 minutes.
  • Add pumpkin puree, apple juice, and chicken stock.  Simmer over low heat, covered, for 30 minutes.  Stirring every now and then to prevent scorching.  Mixture is very thick.

  • After 30 minutes, remove lid and transfer mixture to a blender in batches.  Blend until smooth.  Remember mixture is very hot so be careful not to burn yourself during this process.

Return puree to the large pot.  Season with salt and fresh ground pepper.  Thin with coconut milk (or cream).  Reheat over low heat.

Serve hot soup topped with toasted pumpkin seeds, diced apples, a bit of coconut milk, and a drizzle of pure maple syrup because the sweetness tastes so good with this savory soup.

    I made this delicious soup for number one of our two Thanksgiving celebrations this Year. Many people commented on how good it was! THey especially loved the chopped apples added as a topping. I used vegetarian “chicken” broth so everyone could enjoy it. Thank you for a new favorite!

    Hi Janet,
    I cant wait to try this recipe. Do you have a soup recipe using butternut squash? Or, could i use this recipe and substitute the sQuash for pumpkin?
    Thank you!

    Hi Janet do you use tinned pumpkin ? or fresh pumpkin, can you roast it for more intense flavour ? Looks delicious as usual. Xx

      Yes, I used tinned pumpkin. You are completely right about roasting fresh pumpkin for a more intense flavor. But in a jam a good organic tinned pumpkin works great. Thanks so much.
