Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 8 oz Chorizo Pork or beef or tofu chorizo for vegetarian option.
  • 1 Onion Chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tsp Cumin Adjust to taste.
  • 1 tsp Salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper Freshly ground.
  • 4 cups Broth Chicken, beef, or vegetable.
  • 2 Chipotle Peppers Chopped
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree Ensure it's pure pumpkin, not pie filling.
  • 1/2 cup Cream Coconut cream for dairy-free.
For Serving
  • 4 Crusty Bread or Tortilla Chips For dipping.
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Green Onions For garnish.

Equipment

  • Heavy-bottomed pot

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, add your chorizo. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and fragrant. Use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a plate, leaving fat in the pot.
  2. With the chorizo fat in the pot, add the chopped onion. Sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and chopped chipotle peppers, cooking for another minute.
  3. Return the browned chorizo to the pot. Pour in the broth, followed by the pumpkin puree, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
  4. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes to meld flavors without boiling.
  5. Remove from heat and gently stir in the cream for a rich, velvety texture, blending completely.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with additional chorizo and chopped green onions. Serve alongside crusty bread or tortilla chips.
