A cozy, creamy fall favorite, this Creamy Pumpkin Chicken Soup blends pumpkin puree, shredded chicken, and warm spices into a silky, comforting bowl perfect for chilly evenings and family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups shredded cooked chicken
2 cups pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, curry powder, ginger, and cinnamon. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add pumpkin puree and chicken broth. Stir until smooth and bring to a simmer.
Lower the heat and stir in shredded chicken, coconut milk, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Simmer gently for 10 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt or a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
Ladle into bowls, top with fresh cilantro, and serve with crusty bread or warm naan.

Notes

For a dairy version, swap coconut milk with heavy cream. Add spinach or sweet potatoes for extra nutrients. Perfect for meal prep—flavors deepen beautifully overnight.
