Description

Warm your soul with this creamy, savory Turkey Pumpkin Curry Soup, perfectly paired with rice for a comforting meal any time of the year.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Ground Turkey (lean)
  • 1 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree (not pie filling)
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk (full-fat)
  • 2 cups Vegetable Broth (low-sodium)
  • 1 cup Brown Rice (uncooked)
  • 2 tbsp Curry Powder
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger (grated)
  • 3 Garlic Cloves (minced)
  • 2 tsp Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add olive oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add ground turkey to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.
  3. Sprinkle in curry powder along with salt and pepper. Stir well to coat the turkey in spices; cook for another minute.
  4. Pour in canned pumpkin puree, coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Stir until combined.
  5. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Lower the heat and let it bubble for about 15-20 minutes while you prepare your rice.
  6. In a separate pot, cook brown rice according to package instructions. Once both soup and rice are ready, serve soup over rice in bowls.
  7. Drizzle extra coconut milk on top or garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
