Pumpkin soup with chorizo – the perfect combination

The pumpkin soup with chorizo combines the best of two worlds: the creaminess of the pumpkin and the smoky, spicy taste of the Spanish sausage. Paprika powder and cinnamon give the soup an interesting note reminiscent of Spanish cuisine.

✪ Tip ✪

For a vegetarian version, you can omit the chorizo and use roasted pumpkin seeds or paprika strips instead

 

Serving suggestions: Make your soup the star

With the right toppings, the soup is not only a highlight in terms of taste, but also visually:

◉ A few drops of olive oil for the finishing touch.

◉ Roasted pumpkin seeds for the perfect crunch.

◉ A dollop of crème fraîche or vegan cream for extra creaminess.

 

✪ Tip ✪

Serve the soup with fresh bread – for example a crusty baguette or toasted naan bread.

 

Variations and tips

◉ For more heat: If you like it spicier, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a fresh chilli pepper. This gives the soup a real kick!

◉ Even creamier: If you like a particularly creamy soup, you can add a dash of cream (or a vegan alternative such as oat cream) at the end. This enhances the velvety texture of the soup.

◉ Roast the pumpkin seeds: If you saved the seeds when preparing the pumpkin, you can roast them and use them as a garnish. Simply toast them in a pan with a little oil and salt until they are crispy – a great, healthy snack and perfect topping.

◉ Other toppings: If you want to make it extra elegant, try some toasted naan bread on the side or some crispy garlic-flavored croutons.

 

This recipe shows how you can turn a classic pumpkin soup into an exciting Mediterranean taste sensation using simple ingredients. Whether as a starter or main course, this soup is guaranteed to bring the Spanish sun to your table.
