The autumn classic: Pumpkin soup

When the leaves fall and the temperatures drop again, it’s time for our favourite autumn classic: pumpkin soup. The slightly sweet flavour and creamy consistency not only warm the body but also soothe the soul. Pumpkin soup can be prepared in many different ways, and its variations are always on repeat in the Just Spices kitchen. We love the combination with citrus fruits such as lime and orange, as in our pumpkin soup with orange. But you will also definitely impress your guests with our pumpkin and carrot soup. It is topped with a flavoursome carrot green pistachio pesto. Try this pumpkin and courgette soup to make the most of fresh garden produce in late summer or early autumn. Fresh ginger is a must-have ingredient in our pumpkin soups. The fruity, spicy flavour goes perfectly with the sweet pumpkin, brightening every dish. Make seasoning even easier – with our Soup & Stew Allrounder or Thai Allrounder, depending on which soup you’re making! 

Delicious spicy pumpkin recipes 

You can conjure up just about any savoury dish with pumpkin. Whether it’s a mild pumpkin curry, creamy pumpkin cannelloni or a whole pumpkin stuffed with a delicious couscous filling, pumpkin is just so versatile. Have you ever made gnocchi from pumpkin? In our recipe for pumpkin gnocchi with sage butter, we show you step by step how you can conjure up these delicious Italian pasta-like dumplings from this glorious vegetable in no time. 

Sweet recipe ideas with pumpkin

Pumpkin is not just for savoury dishes; it shines in sweet treats too! Enjoy our lovingly crafted sweet pumpkin recipes, from American pumpkin pie and delicious pumpkin pancakes to pumpkin jam perfect with a croissant. Pumpkin also makes a fantastic addition to porridge – try our pumpkin porridge with warm cinnamon apples and pecans for a breakfast dream. Our sweet pumpkin recipes will show you how wonderfully pumpkin fits into desserts.

Recipes with spaghetti squash, butternut squash or Hokkaido 

Hokkaido pumpkin is one of the best-known and most popular pumpkin varieties. It does not need to be peeled (just scrubbed clean!) and can be used in a variety of ways. The stringy spaghetti squash and the pear-shaped butternut squash are also very popular alternatives. While spaghetti squash is usually baked in the oven and scraped out with a fork, butternut squash can be roasted or used in soups or purees such as our delicious pumpkin ricotta cannelloni. 

Pumpkin Pie Spice – a must-have spice mix for pumpkin recipes

Our versatile Pumpkin Pie Spice is a must-have for autumn. Not only does it add a warming depth of flavour to sweet drinks, cakes or desserts, but it also works beautifully in savoury pumpkin recipes such as our pumpkin lasagne. Have you tried our pumpkin pie cinnamon rolls with creamy cream cheese frosting? No? Then it’s high time you did! They are also the perfect dish to bring to an autumn brunch with family and friends.
