How to Make Halloween Pumpkin Soup in Mini Pumpkins
Preparing the Mini Pumpkins: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully slice off the tops of each mini pumpkin and scoop out the seeds to create little bowls.
Sautéing Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté chopped onions until they turn translucent and release their sweet aroma. Toss in minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the Pumpkin Flesh: Chop up some scooped-out pumpkin flesh from your mini pumpkins. Add it to the pot along with vegetable broth. Simmer until everything is tender.
Blending for Creaminess: Using an immersion blender or transferring to a blender in batches, puree the mixture until smooth. Stir in coconut milk for added creaminess.
Seasoning It Right: Return the soup to heat, adding cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed for that perfect balance.
Serving Up Style: Ladle your delicious Halloween Pumpkin Soup into prepared mini pumpkins. Garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of coconut milk before serving!
