Indulge in the comforting flavors of fall with this creamy Turkey Pumpkin Curry Soup featuring tender turkey, rich pumpkin, and aromatic spices – perfect for chilly evenings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (100% pure)
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. Measure out the pumpkin puree and coconut milk.
  2. Cook the Turkey: In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil and brown the ground turkey for about 5 to 7 minutes. Break it into small pieces as it cooks.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pot. Sauté until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  4. Stir in Spices: Sprinkle in the curry powder along with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to coat the turkey evenly with spices.
  5. Add Pumpkin and Coconut Milk: Pour in the pumpkin puree and coconut milk. Stir until smooth and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
  6. Combine with Rice: While the soup simmers, cook rice according to package instructions separately. After simmering for 10 minutes, stir in the cooked rice into your soup mixture.
  7. Serve: Transfer to bowls and serve hot! Optionally garnish with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice.
