September 12, 2018 By Shannah Coe 9 Comments

This green chile pumpkin soup recipe combines the slightly smokey flavor of a green chile with a creamy pumpkin soup for the perfect fall comfort food. Create this pumpkin soup with canned pumpkin for a simple recipe that is ready super quickly.

I usually don’t get excited about pumpkin until October but, with all the rain and cold weather we have had, I am totally craving a creamy pumpkin soup. I love the subtle flavors green chiles add to a standard pumpkin soup recipe making it totally irresistable. 

I love using pumpkin in savory dishes and this green chile pumpkin soup is so delicious. It is the perfect fall soup recipe.

There are tons of pumpkin dessert recipes but, when I went searching for savory pumpkin recipes, they were a lot harder to find. This pumpkin soup recipe uses a tasty blend of spices and some green chiles to really take a lot of the sweetness out of the pumpkin. It is the perfect thing to warm you up on a cool, fall day.

I love soup in the fall and winter! This pumpkin soup is amazing and I make it over and over!

The sour cream mixture adds a cooling component and a little tartness to the the soup. You can leave it out to create a delicious vegan pumpkin soup.

Creamy pumpkin soup with a little kick from green chiles. Yum!

      I actually dreamt of a soup made with pumpkin and green chiles so I was glad to find this recipe.
      I have to say, I’ve never heard of a soup recipe that didn’t have salt in it, and this certainly needed it. I am unsure if it was an oversight, but you will at least need to add a teaspoon or more. Also, perhaps chicken broth would have been better for flavor than the vegetable broth as this soup fell flat for me. It may have had a lot to do with my chiles as they were way to mild.

    New Mexico is known for it’s green chiles. You can’t even go to the State Fair or any farmer’s market, even Sprouts, in September without smelling chiles roasting. I’ll have to give this recipe a try.
