How to Make Simple Pumpkin Coconut Bisque

Pot with chopped onions surrounded by bowls of pumpkin and spices1
pot with pumpkin and spices added to broth3
pot with sauteed onions with garlic and fresh ginger2
pumpkin soup pureed in blender4
  1. In a large pot, melt the butter.  Add the onions.
  2. Saute the onions until they begin to turn golden.  Add the ginger and garlic to the onions and saute for a few minutes longer.
  3. To the onions add the pumpkin puree, salt, sugar, red pepper flakes, and ground allspice.  Stir together.  Cover the pot and let simmer for 30 minutes.
  4. Remove the soup from the heat. Ladle the mixture into a blender.  Puree the mixture until completely smooth.

Pour the pumpkin mixture back into the pot.  Add 2 cups of coconut milk.   If you want a thinner consistency, you can add more coconut milk or chicken stock until you reach the consistency that you want.  Whisk the mixture together.  Bring the soup to a simmer.  To serve garnish with a little drizzle of coconut milk, ground nutmeg, and pumpkin seeds. 

How to serve Pumpkin Coconut Bisque

  • Drizzle with a bit of coconut milk.
  • Sprinkle with a hint of fresh grated or ground nutmeg.
  • Top with a spoonful of toasted or raw pumpkin seeds for crunch and texture. 😋
  • Leftover soup can be stored in a covered container and refrigerated for 3-4 days.  The soup freezes very well for up to 1 month.

This easy and quick to make bisque is definitely my go-to soup for chilly days and nights.

    Ooo I'm so glad you're adding more red pepper flakes. I would! But you know there are pansy's out there that won't add any. Oh what they are missing. So happy you liked the bisque, Alli.

    Wow I made this for dinner tonight and it was delish. I really loved the creamy texture with the coconut. I added some extra red pepper flakes too. I loved how you could taste the ginger in there too. I just saw your recipe for granola, and I can't wait to try that too!

    Oh. My. I made this today for lunch. It was a cold, gray day with the first skiff of snow on the mountains, and the flavor, texture, and everything else about the soup was spot-on. I increased the red pepper flakes because I love things spicy, and I even added the allspice, though I don't typically love it–it is fabulous in this preparation. The pumpkin and coconut milk go so well together. Thank you, thank you!

    When I first got married, the husband that never reads this blog told me that cooking squash in any form would be grounds for divorce! I wish it was the key to his heart.
