Spicy Pumpkin Soup with Chilli and Coconut – Autumn Never Felt So Cosy
🌶️ Pumpkin Soup with Chilli and Coconut – Cosy Autumn Comfort
A pumpkin soup with chilli is exactly what you need when the leaves are dancing outside and the days are drawing in. It warms you from the inside, smells wonderful, and brings a little sunshine to the table with its gentle kick. With a splash of coconut milk and freshly ground chilli from the kjøk chilli grinder, it turns into a proper comfort dish for grey days. 🍂
🥣 Ingredients for Pumpkin Soup with Chilli (Serves 4)
- 1 Hokkaido squash (about 1 kg)
- 1 onion
- 1 piece of ginger (about 3 cm)
- 1 tin coconut milk (400 ml)
- 500 ml vegetable stock
- 2 tbsp oil (rapeseed or olive oil, for example)
- Salt and pepper
- Freshly ground chilli flakes from the kjøk chilli grinder
- Optional: a little lime juice and pumpkin seeds, to garnish
🔪 How to Make Pumpkin Soup with Chilli
- Prepare the squash: Start by halving the squash with a sharp kjøk chef's knife, then remove the seeds and cut into chunks. With Hokkaido squash, you can leave the skin on and cook it too – it saves time and makes the soup even creamier.
- Fry off the aromatics: Finely chop the onion and ginger and fry gently in the oil until translucent. Add the squash and cook briefly with the rest, so the flavours can develop.
- Simmer and blend: Pour in the vegetable stock and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the squash is soft. Once everything is cooked through, blend until smooth and stir in the coconut milk.
- Season to taste: Finish with salt, pepper and freshly ground chilli – straight from the kjøk chilli grinder for maximum flavour. A squeeze of lime juice rounds it all off nicely, if you fancy it.
🍛 Serving Tip
Ladle the soup into bowls and scatter over some pumpkin seeds, a swirl of coconut milk and a pinch of chilli. Your pumpkin soup with chilli is ready to go. Serve with fresh bread, some quiet music and, of course, candlelight.
🌶️ Why Freshly Ground Chilli Makes All the Difference
Many people reach for ready-made chilli flakes, but freshly ground chilli tastes far more intense. With the kjøk chilli grinder, you can dial the heat in exactly how you like it – mild for everyday cooking, or fiery for true chilli fans. The ceramic grinding mechanism also works well for pepper, dried herbs and spice blends.
