Pumpkin Peanut Soup Ingredients
This soup contains few ingredients, most of which you might already have in your pantry. The soup is inspired by Javanese peanut soup and other Asian flavors, hence the use of coconut milk and ginger.
- Pumpkin, I used butternut squash but you can also choose a different variety.
- Peanut butter, preferably a 100% peanut butter without additives as this might impact the flavor.
- Aromatics, ginger and garlic are my flavor of choice for this soup.
- Liquids, I used both vegetable broth and coconut milk.
Easy Pumpkin Soup with Peanuts
This pumpkin soup with peanut butter is really something different, and that’s exactly what makes it so delicious. You can also try this spicy pumpkin soup or my Thai pumpkin soup. They are both delicious and full of flavor.
The soup is also very easy to make! No complicated preparation techniques, just cook the pumpkin with broth and add the coconut milk and peanut butter later. I like my soup a little thicker, but you can always add a little extra liquid or reduce the soup a little less, depending on your taste. Garnish with chopped peanuts and fresh herbs such as parsley or coriander and serve.
