Combines the creamy richness of pumpkin with the zesty brightness of orange and the warm spice of ginger. This flavorful and aromatic soup is a comforting way to enjoy a hearty serving of vegetables.
In a large pot, add the olive oil and onion and cook for about 8 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
Add the ginger and orange zest, cook, stirring for about 1 minute, then add the pumpkin puree, vegetable broth and orange juice, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Season the soup with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with red pepper flakes, a drizzle of oil, and scatter over the chopped cilantro.
Notes
For oil-free: simply omit the oil and instead do a water or broth sauté.
