    Hearty Chipotle Pumpkin Soup

    by Patti Estep · Oct 20, 2016

    Jump to Recipe

    This recipe for hearty chipotle pumpkin soup is a nice mix of sweet and spicy. You can make it with either fresh or canned pumpkin.

    Spicy Chipotle Pumpkin Soup Recipe

    Sometimes you just want a hearty soup. The kind that warms you up and sticks to your ribs.

    I was thinking of making some butternut squash soup, and then I came across these "pie pumpkins" at the grocery store. My family loves pumpkin pie. These pumpkins sparked my curiosity, and I thought why not make a savory soup with the pumpkins? 

    I am a fan of sweet and spicy dishes. When I was a kid the only Chinese food I've ever had was Chicken Chow Mein, so I thought I didn't like Chinese food. It wasn't until I tried Szechuan Chicken that I realized just how much I really did like this cuisine, especially the spicy dishes.

    Since everyone in my family likes spicy food, I decided to add some heat to this pumpkin soup and picked up a can of chipotles in adobo sauce. You can easily find this in the Mexican food aisle. If you are a fan of spicy food you have to try this one.

    The first time I had it was in a creamy pasta sauce with chicken, made by my older sister who is a fantastic cook. It was really delicious but oh so spicy. So beware a little goes a long way.

    In fact, I'd suggest cutting back this recipe if you are at all worried about the heat. You can always add more, but it is much harder to take away the heat.

    Oh yeah, those pie pumpkins were a big disappointment. One had a huge rotten area on the inside and the other was as hard as a rock.

    Since I had my hopes for this recipe I ended up using a large can of pumpkin instead. It worked great, but if you get your hands on some good pie pumpkins and want to use them here's what I originally planned to do.

    Remove the rind and seeds. Then chop the flesh into small chunks and cook them in chicken broth. Once the pumpkin is soft, move it to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree it.

    The creamy, sweet and spicy flavor of this soup does not dissappoint and is the perfect solution to a cold fall day.

        Hi Jemma,

        Mine actually had quite a bit of chipolte and was pretty hot so that's why I cautioned everyone in the post, but hey, I know lots of people who may prefer it even hotter.
        Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
