Pumpkin soup is a soup usually made from pumpkin puree and stock or broth. It can be served hot or cold, depending on the recipe, and can include ingredients such as onion, garlic, chili peppers, and cream. It is very popular during Thanksgiving celebrations in the United States and Canada.
Pumpkins are a squash and are usually large, orange, and round or oblong. They have a pumpkin-like structure and in many places the seeds are removed and faces or designs are carved through the rind to create Halloween decorations. Most pumpkin parts are edible, and the flesh can be baked or steamed, as well as mashed and used in pies or soups. Pumpkins are grown all over the world and used in sweet and savory dishes. During the Vietnam War, pumpkin soup was a staple food for prisoners in the North.
Pumpkin soup is eaten in many places, but mostly in the United States, Australia and Canada. The fruit grows best in warm weather, and usually ripens in the fall, giving it a long association with the harvest season. Researchers don’t know exactly where the squash grew, but it’s thought it probably came from North America.
In Haiti, pumpkin soup is traditionally eaten on New Year’s Day. This soup, which also often contains beef, potatoes, turnips and vegetables, was served on January 1, 1804, when Haiti became an independent country. It is a symbol of national unity and a reminder of how the country has overcome slavery and oppression.
Most pumpkin soups start with pumpkin puree and broth or stock. Pumpkin puree can be made from fresh pumpkin. After removing the seeds and inner membranes from a fresh squash, it can be cut into sections and cooked at 350°F (176°C) for about 45 minutes. Once the squash has cooled, the soft flesh can be scraped off the skin and pureed with a food processor or blender. Many home cooks prefer to use canned pumpkin puree, which is usually available in most supermarkets; Pumpkin pie filling, which contains spices like cinnamon and nutmeg as well as pumpkin, is also available canned, so it’s important for a home cook to be sure they’re purchasing the right kind.
“Pumpkin Soup” is also the name of a song by musician Kate Nash. It was her ninth track from her 2007 album, Made of Bricks. “Pumpkin Soup” was released as a single in December 2007.
