    Embrace the fall season with this delicious pumpkin curry soup full of veggies, fiber, and nutrients

    Pumpkin Curry Soup from Living Well Kitchen

    It's pumpkin season, and I am all for celebrating the mighty pumpkin.

    While pumpkin is delicious, it shouldn't only be enjoyed in lattes and pies.

    In fact, I personally prefer pumpkin in savory dishes. Think chili, macaroni and cheese, and soup.

    Pumpkin Curry Soup from Living Well Kitchen

    The other day though, I made some pumpkin cheesecake bars and had some leftover pumpkin.

    Many people toss their leftover, unused pumpkin because they don't know what to do with it but that's so sad.

    I will typically freeze the pumpkin to use in smoothies or to defrost and make granola or something along those lines.

    Since I was heading out of town, I knew I wanted to make something that I could have in my kitchen, so I wouldn't have to cook when I got home.

    Having prepared food in the freezer is one of my favorite ways to keep myself from feeling anxious after coming home from a long trip.

    So I made some this soup with the leftover pumpkin.

    It initially started out as pumpkin curry based on this recipe, but then it morphed into a giant pot of soup. And I mean giant. I ended up having to transfer the soup into a much larger pot because I kept adding things.

    This curry pumpkin soup is warming and full of veggies. One of the things I love so much about soup is the ability to add so many vegetables without feeling like you are eating diet food or boring vegetables all the time.

    I know I am craving fruits and vegetables whenever I get home from a trip, no matter how many veggies I get in while I'm gone, and I am looking forward to having this in my freezer to eat all week.

    And since this is a feature about being frugal, I'd like to mention how budget friendly this recipe is. A few veggies, some canned ingredients, and spices is all you need.

    If you want to add some cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu to boost the protein you can. But I felt satisfied with some chopped cilantro and a few cashews or pumpkin seeds.

      Made this tonight and followed the recipe exactly. This turned out very bland for me - my boyfriend tasted it too and we couldn't believe how little flavor it had. It was like the potatoes absorbed all the flavor. Also could have used another can of chickpeas - this makes a lot of soup.

        Hmm I had multiple test the soup and love it, so I'm so sorry it didn't turn out like you'd hoped! I know everyone has different taste buds, so maybe you prefer a spicier soup. Or I wonder if your spices have expired. Hope you were able to add some ingredients to make this recipe your own and enjoy it ๐Ÿ™‚
