Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat over medium heat and add the chorizo. Cook for about 5 minutes until browned and crispy, stirring occasionally to break it apart. Once browned, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat and leave behind the flavorful base in the pot.
- In the same pot, add the finely chopped onions and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until they become soft and translucent. Then, stir in the minced garlic and chopped chipotle peppers, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in your broth of choice along with the pumpkin puree. Add cumin, salt, and black pepper, stirring everything until well combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat and let it cook for about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and gently stir in the heavy cream until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, and finish with reserved chorizo pieces on top. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped green onions for a fresh touch. Serve hot.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, opt for tofu chorizo and check that all other ingredients are vegetarian-friendly.
