Adorned with a homemade baby kale pumpkin seed pesto, this creamy and delicious pumpkin soup will warm you up on cold rainy days and can be frozen for later.

Kale Pesto
  • 500 g Butternut squash flesh, diced
  • 1 tbsp Coconut oil
  • 1 Onion, diced
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Ginger, minced
  • Nutmeg
  • 50 ml White wine
  • 500 ml Vegetable broth
  • Salt and pepper
  • 100 ml Coconut milk
  • 80 g Baby kale
  • 20 g Parsley leaves
  • 50 g Pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tbsp Finely grated lemon rind
  • 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2-3 tbsp Water
  • Salt and pepper
  1. For the pesto, place baby kale, parsley, pumpkin seeds, lemon rind, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and water in a food processor. Process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Melt coconut oil in a large saucepan. Add in diced squash, onion, minced garlic and ginger. Cook briefly and sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg. Pour in white wine and broth. Cook, covered, for about 25-30 minutes until tender.
  3. Using a hand held blender, process soup until smooth. Add in coconut milk and season. Serve the soup warm topped with pesto and if desired, in a roasted pumpkin bowl.

Nancy Chan 8/11/15 11:01

Angie, I would love to have the soup served in the pumpkin itself. I love pumpkin and I would scrap clean the pumpkin flesh away from the skin. What a lovely soup to enjoy on a cold, rainy day!

How divine! I want the one served in a roasted pumpkin...what a treat that would be. Love the white wine and coconut milk in here and the pesto is such a nice touch. You add the diced squash in with the onions and let it cook together, right?

Barbara 9/11/15 12:49

We all love squash soup in my family. I use an old Williams Sonoma recipe...but now, I'm going to add coconut milk. What a super idea! That little bit of kale pesto is the perfect final touch.

[Reply]
Vicki Bensinger 9/11/15 13:16

I love everything about this. Butternut Squash soup is my favorite this time of year. I like that you used coconut milk and also garnish it with a kale pesto which I've never tried. Adding the pumpkin seeds to it is brilliant. I'll definitely be trying this. Great recipe!

[Reply]
Susan 9/11/15 14:50

I've made a lot of things with kale, but never thought of pesto! I'm trying this tonight since it's rainy and cold here, XOXO

grace 9/11/15 15:24

i'm in the minority, but i really don't like kale. this seems like a wonderful way to use it and might actually change my mind!

Velva 9/11/15 23:33

Angie, this looks good! I love using kale as alternative green in pesto. Its delightful. When pesto is added to soups and stews it really brings the flavor up to a new level.

My garden is full of kale right now, and I have been inspired to make kale pesto too.

The pumpkin soup is divine!
