A delightful and warming soup featuring the rich flavors of pumpkin and ginger, perfect for cozy evenings.
Heat the butter in a large pot over medium heat until melted.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown to maintain a smooth flavor.
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from burning.
Stir in the pumpkin, chicken broth, and ginger. Bring to a simmer and cook until the pumpkin is tender.
Cut the pumpkin into small cubes for faster cooking.
Blend the mixture until smooth using a hand blender.
Blend in batches if using a regular blender to avoid spills.
Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, and half-and-half cream. Heat gently without boiling.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the soup warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
