Easy Keto Fall Soup
This is your recipe when you want to spice up a keto soup with bone broth. Warming Indian spices combine with pumpkin, making this a favorite recipe for fall or winter. The smell of pumpkin and spice cooking in my kitchen makes my whole home feel cozier.
When it’s cold outside, cooking comfort food makes so much sense. This soup is rich, flavorful, and filling. It’s perfect as a lunch or a side at dinner. I’m so impressed, I’ll consider this for my Thanksgiving menu. You’ll love this velvety and epicurean dish with flavors that play together exquisitely.
All this, yet it’s one of the easiest soups you can make!
How to Make Keto Pumpkin Soup
Gather 4 basic ingredients and you’ll have a pumpkin soup recipe made with coconut milk simmering away in less than thirty minutes!
Ingredients
- Pumpkin puree – Make sure it’s sugar-free! Always check the labels, as sometimes there is added sugar. A 15-ounce can is a perfect size for this recipe.
- Coconut milk – One (15-ounce) can of coconut milk brings all the creaminess to this recipe. I recommend choosing an organic brand with the highest fat content you can find. Those are the most luxurious tasting.
- Bone broth – Homemade is best, so learn how to make beef bone broth on the stovetop or follow my Slow Cooker Beef Bone Broth recipe instead. Either way, it’s a nourishing liquid base for any soup. If you prefer a premade option, I suggest stocking up on a bundle of organic Kettle and Fire bone broth.
- Spices – The lovely aromatic blend of turmeric, cinnamon, garam masala, cayenne, and ginger, finished with a pinch of salt adds culinary dimensions to this pumpkin soup. Feel free to use ground spices or you can grate in fresh turmeric root and ginger. Add cayenne to taste and turn the heat up as much as you like.
Directions
First, bring the pumpkin puree and coconut milk to a gentle simmer in a saucepan over medium heat.
Next, stir in broth and all the spices.
Then, use an immersion blender or stir briskly with a whisk until well mixed. Make sure to thoroughly blend the soup, especially if you are using fresh turmeric and ginger. You can always transfer a portion of the soup to a Vitamix or high-powered blender if needed.
Continue cooking at a simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes. The liquid will reduce over time as the soup thickens. Periodically stir the soup, making sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan.
Finally, divide into bowls and serve warm. Customize the soup by adding a garnish for a final flourish. Add a splash of coconut cream and whole peppercorn, if desired. Maybe add a bit of crunch to this creamy soup with a few sunflower or pumpkin seeds or chopped-up bacon.
You can double the recipe and freeze leftovers for another cozy meal. Once the soup has completely cooled, pour it into an air-tight container or freezer bag. You’ll thank yourself later.
