Scale

Soup Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 150 grams chorizo, diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chorizo: Heat a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chorizo and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it releases its oils and becomes slightly crispy.
  2. Sauté the Onions: Add the olive oil and finely chopped onion to the pot with the chorizo. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
  3. Add Spices: Stir in smoked paprika, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and bring out their flavors.
  4. Simmer with Pumpkin and Broth: Pour in the pumpkin purée and chicken or vegetable broth. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Season and Serve: Taste the soup, then season with salt and black pepper as needed. Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream for extra creaminess.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup before serving.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper to control the level of spiciness according to your taste.
  • Use gluten-free sausage if needed to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • This soup can be made vegetarian by substituting chorizo with smoked paprika and adding extra vegetables like bell peppers.
