Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1/2 lb chorizo

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 chipotle peppers, chopped

Spices & Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Liquids & Others

  • 15 oz chicken or beef broth
  • 2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Cook the chorizo: Add the chorizo to a soup pot and heat on medium. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to break it apart. Once cooked, scoop the chorizo into a bowl and wipe most of the fat from the pot using paper towels to reduce excess grease.
  2. Sauté onions and garlic: Add the chopped onions to the same pot and sauté until they become fragrant and translucent. Meanwhile, drain the fat from the cooked chorizo bowl. Add the drained chorizo back into the pot with the onions along with the minced garlic and chopped chipotle peppers; cook for a few minutes to blend the flavors.
  3. Add broth, pumpkin, and spices: Pour in the broth and stir in the pumpkin puree, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let the soup simmer gently for about 10 minutes so the flavors meld together.
  4. Finish with cream and serve: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the heavy cream to add richness. Serve the soup hot, garnished with reserved chorizo pieces and chopped green onions for extra texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use pumpkin puree from canned pumpkin or homemade for best texture.
  • Adjust the number of chipotle peppers to control the heat level.
  • Drain excess fat from the chorizo to keep the soup from becoming greasy.
  • This soup can be made with chicken or beef broth depending on your preference.
  • For a vegetarian option, substitute chorizo with smoked tofu and vegetable broth.
