Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound spicy chorizo
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups pumpkin puree
3 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
Instructions
Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion.
Sauté the Aromatics: Cook the onion for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently.
Add the Chorizo: Crumble the chorizo into the pot. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to break it up as it cooks.
Incorporate Pumpkin: Once the chorizo is nicely browned, stir in the pumpkin puree. Mix well to combine.
Pour in the Broth: Gradually add the vegetable broth, stirring until everything is well combined.
Season the Soup: Add smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well and bring the soup to a gentle simmer.
Simmer: Allow the soup to simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help all the flavors to meld beautifully.
Blend (if desired): For a smooth soup, you can use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot, or carefully transfer it to a traditional blender in batches.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro or other garnishes of your choice. Enjoy!
