Coconut Curried Pumpkin Soup

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…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I’ve made this three times already this winter, it’s my new go-to soup. The curry flavour is magic with the pumpkin, and I love that it’s so quick in the Thermie!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “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.

  1. 5 stars
    This soup recipe is fantastic. Perfectly flavored and is enjoyed by all young and old. Give it a try 👍

  2. 5 stars
    This would have to be my favourite go to soup. I’ve made it many times over the years. Thankyou so much🩷

  3. 5 stars
    This is my go-to recipe. Throw it all in the slow cooker (except coconut cream), Cook and then add the coconut cream and blend with stick blender until smooth and creamy. Delicious!

  4. 5 stars
    First time of making this dish. Yummy will make again. Next time I will add less water to make it a thicker soup.

  5. 5 stars
    Absolutely delicious. Made it as the recipe read. Super easy and quick. Paired it with the pumpkin dinner rolls. What a winning winter dish

  6. 4 stars
    Very tasty but I found it quite watery, like my soups thicker. Will try reducing stock or adding more veg next time ☺️

  7. 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.

  8. 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?

  9. 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.

  10. 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!

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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,

  15. 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!

  16. 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 😊

  17. This is a really tasty soup. I think if it was made thicker it could be a really good healthy curry sauce too.

  18. double thumbs up from my dad and hubby on this one – making again this weekend.
    I am not a soup eater but did taste it and liked the taste 🙂

        1. Hi Charlotte, it is a runnier style soup. Next time you could reduce the water a bit to make it thicker if you prefer that style. I would reduce to 500g water and see how that went 🙂

    1. Yes! Well, somewhat – i eat carrots, maintenance for me. So i used 500g kent pumpkin, 3 med/small carrots, chicken stock paste and same amount of water. But, before i started cooking i milled 100g of almonds and set aside, to thicken once cooked, as i thought it might be thin without the sweet potato. I then cooked the soup, and added the milled almonds after the coconut cream, and blitzed for another 10 secs. Let rest for at least 5 mins. I liked it!

  19. Love this soup. I only use a small tin of coconut cream (270 I think) and still tastes delicious. Super quick and super easy.

  20. Just made this for the first time and OMG the easiest and tastiest recipe ever nom nom nom!!

  21. The most devine pumpkin soup i’ve ever tasted. Loved by my 4 year old as well. Thank you Nik 😀

  22. Made for the first time today, love the slight spicy flavour that the Babas curry adds. Great for winter!

  23. Made this soup for the first time today, it would have to be one of the best pumpkin soups I’ve tasted.

  24. What can I say! This is THE perfect pumpkin soup! Made it tonight for mothers day and it was just what I needed!

  25. I have just made the coconut curried pumpkin soup. It is very sweet and I was wondering if there was anything I could add to take the sweetness away.
    Thank you

  26. I love recipes that are versatile like this! I had 250g pumpkin, 1 capsicum, 1 zucchini & about 600g sweet potato. Threw it all in and it is amazing!! I didn’t add the coconut cream as I didn’t think it needed it. This is a keeper in my household for sure!

  27. AMAZING!!! I was yet to find a pumpkin soup better the my mums until today! Absolutely Devine! I would have liked it a little thicker I think but still amazing! Thank you! 🙂

  28. Loved this soup…. Hubby who thinks sound isn’t a meal even loved it. Definitely a keeper for Winter 🙂

  29. Wonderful flavoursome soup, but too salty for me. Used my SM chicken stock for the first time and was concerned before I made it that there was too much salt as I don’t salt anything. Any tips to reduce the salt. I could use half the stock, but would that affect the flavour?

  30. This soup is great! I made it without the coconut cream and just used the 700g chicken broth and the thickness and taste were perfect! I love pumpkin soup and this is a great variation to the traditional one!

  31. I think you could reduce stock to 500g or so – in the TM31 you wouldnt want any more vegies as it will be too full.

  32. I loved this soup, I’m a traditional pumpkin soup lover usually, this was great for a change, I have had terrible heart burn all day since eating it tho….
    I will still make it again 🙂

  33. I would like a pumpkin soup recipe that wasn’t so rich as I’m on Optifast diet and don’t want to blow my calories any variation suggestions please

    1. The biggest contribution to your calories here would be the oil and coconut cream. Simply leave both out. Sub the cream for a little milk if you want some creaminess, but I think it would be perfect without cream at all if you’re concerned about calories.

  34. This was delicious! I didn’t have a carrot so put in extra sweet potato and didn’t bother to peel or remove seeds from my butternut pumpkin. Instead I blended for 5 minutes! Extra goodness and no peeling pumpkin, win!

  35. This is seriously so yum. I added less water and used cream instead of coconut cream and used about half of what the recipe said. (I like a thick pumpkin soup)
    Was so yum. Thank you very much for this twist.
    So good. Going to have left overs for breakfast

  36. Wow! This pumpkin soup is absolutely devine! It has a beautiful velvet texture and is so flavoursome! This will be a winter regular for sure. Best Thermomix pumpkin soup recipe out there. Thanks so much Nik xo

  37. Creamy deliciousness will easily become a regular. Also loving that it uses the babas curry powder. Thanks…….again!

  38. I finally made this, after 2 days procrastinating. Yummo! i was hoping the sweet potato and curry would mask the pumpkin a little, and it does. I’m not a fan of pumpkin but i know it’s good for me. Now I have yummy soup to get all the orange goodness.

    🙂

  39. Hey there, would love to make this tomorrow but I don’t have the Babas curry powder. What can I use as a substitute?? Cheers Steph

    1. Keens is more of an English curry powder and tastes vastly different to babas curry powder, which is more Malaysian style.
      I really do not like Keens but it is very much personal preference.
      If you do use keens reduce the quantity unless you like it really hot as I have also found spoon for spoon keens to be hotter

    2. I made this last night without curry powder (had run out), added some turmeric instead. Tasted amazing! Such a great recipe Nik!

  40. Absolutely amazing. I had completely forgotten about it, after saving the original recipe last year.

    Sooooo tasty. 🙂

  41. The Coconut Curried Pumpkin Soup is really tasty and I can imagine digging in with some crusty bread on a cold day. I prefer my soup slightly thicker therefore next time I would reduce the stock. Nik, another winner here. I love how you create the most delicious meals which allows us to tweak to suit our preference and family taste/allergies etc. Thank you. I will be making this again 👍
