Sharing is caring!

I have been doing a version of this healthy pumpkin soup for about 10 years now, and there has been a popular recipe in the Thermomix group files for it – I finally got around to blogging it and giving people yet another use for their powdered gold (babas!). 

I hope you all enjoy this healthy Thermomix recipe.

Creamy Coconut Curried Pumpkin Soup – A Hug in a Bowl

When the weather turns cool and comfort food cravings hit hard, this Coconut Curried Pumpkin Soup is like a warm hug in a bowl. Velvety smooth, naturally sweet pumpkin, rich coconut cream and that gentle hit of curry spice…this is no ordinary pumpkin soup.

This Thermomix-friendly recipe is everything we love about Skinnymixers: wholesome, easy, budget-friendly and packed with flavour. Whether you’re meal prepping, cooking for the family, or need something cozy and nourishing after a big day, this soup ticks all the boxes.

This one’s naturally dairy-free, gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan-friendly. Just good real food with big flavour.


Why You’ll Love This Pumpkin Soup

Big on flavour, low on effort – This soup delivers maximum comfort with minimal hands-on time. A quick sauté, a simmer, then a blend—it’s ready in under 30 minutes!

Thermomix makes it ridiculously easy – No chopping required. Just throw everything in and let the Thermomix do the work.

Perfect for batch cooking – Make a big pot and freeze in portions for future you. This recipe freezes beautifully and reheats like a dream.

Customisable spice level – Love heat? Add a little extra curry powder or chilli. Prefer it milder? Stick to the base recipe—it’s wonderfully balanced.

Budget and pantry friendly – Using simple, staple ingredients like pumpkin, onion, garlic, stock and curry powder, this soup proves that delicious doesn’t have to be expensive.

Ingredients that Make It Special

  • Pumpkin – The hero of the dish! Butternut or Kent are both perfect here—sweet, smooth, and silky once blended.

  • Onion & Garlic – A flavour base that’s simple but essential.

  • Yellow Curry Powder – This gives the soup its warm, aromatic personality without overwhelming the sweetness of the pumpkin.

  • Coconut Cream – For that ultra-creamy, luxurious finish. It balances the spice and brings everything together.

💡 Skinnymixers Tip: Want to add some protein? Toss in some cooked red lentils or shredded chicken at the end—perfect for bulking it up into a full meal.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this Coconut Curried Pumpkin Soup with:

  • A swirl of coconut cream or Greek yoghurt (if dairy is tolerated)

  • Toasted pepitas or crispy chickpeas for crunch

  • Crusty bread or a slice of low-carb naan

  • A sprinkle of fresh coriander or chives for that pop of green

This soup is also perfect in a thermos for lunchboxes or as a starter for dinner parties (yes, it’s that good!).


What the Community are Saying…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Kids asked for seconds. That’s all I need to say.”


How to Store It

  • Fridge – Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

  • Freezer – Freeze in portions for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat gently.

It actually tastes even better the next day—those curry spices deepen beautifully.

Bellini Users
Use your sharp blade for this recipe.
At step 1 add on a couple of seconds chopping time, if required.
At step 2 you may need to add on 1-2 mins cooking time, or until onions and garlic are cooked to your liking
At step 4 add on a cooking time if required.
At step 5 allow to cool slightly (5-10 minutes) and then very slowly increase speed, then slowly decrease speed towards the end of the blending time. Blend for longer if required, taking the same precautions to ensure no build up of pressure when blending.

coconut curried pumpkin soup thermomix recipe by skinnymixers

  1. 4 stars
    Very tasty but I found it quite watery, like my soups thicker. Will try reducing stock or adding more veg next time ☺️

  2. 5 stars
    Absolutely love this soup. We make it basically every week, sometimes with more carrot, sometimes more pumpkin just depending on what we have and its always sooooo good. Thanks.

  3. I have this cooking now, and it smells divine.

    Can anyone tell me how this freezes?

    Would I need to omit the coconut milk to freeze, and then add it in when the soup is defrosted and being heated to eat?

  4. 4 stars
    I made this FODMAP friendly by skipping step 1 and using onion and garlic infused olive oil in step 2. Really lovely soup, thanks for the recipe.

  5. I just made this, I didn’t have any garam masala and only 3/4 tbs of normal curry powder, and it’s beautiful. Made it in my Kitchenaid Cook Processor. Finding Skinnymixers has given me a new lease on Termo Life, I hardly ever used my KACP before, but I can see it getting a full workout now!

  6. Can you leave the skin on the pumpkin? I roasted the veg first, but then it was so hot when I was trying to peel it! LOL (I hate peeling before hand as find that hard too.)

    1. When I first got my Thermomix I was shown how to make pumpkin soup using skin, seeds and flesh. Still do it that way.

  7. 5 stars
    So so yummy!! I didn’t have babas so used Massman curry paste instead. I also roasted my veges in the oven first which mean I didn’t need 600g water. I only used 500g. Thank you!!

    1. Just had this for the first time using a Regan Josh curry powder as that’s what I had on hand. It is not spicy but absolutely delicious. I’d be confident to serve to children.

  8. 5 stars
    This soup is way too easy and way too nutrient and way too delicious! Thank you so much! I’ve been making this every week since discovering it. I have a little cold now, this shall help me mend.

  9. 4 stars
    I reduced pumpkin and sweet potato, I also didn’t use onion. I also forgot the coconut milk at the end. I added zucchini and cauliflower to reduce carbs, This was a delicious and easy to whip up,

  10. I’ve made this soup a few times before and love it. I don’t have any pumpkin and was wondering if anyone’s made this with just sweet potato and the carrot?

    1. Yes! I’ve made it with just sweet potato and carrot (making sure the weight of pumpkin is substituted). It’s still delicious!

  11. OMG! YUM!
    I just made this soup and it is amazing!
    I’m not a huge fan a coconut so was hesitant to try it but it is a great soup!
    I will be making this again!

      1. 5 stars
        I didn’t have any garam masala, chicken stock or coconut cream so I improvised.
        I used coconut milk, vegetable stock cubes and also added about a cup and a half of minted peas.
        Delicious!!! Thank you 😊
