Embrace the warmth of autumn with this incredibly simple yet deeply satisfying pumpkin soup, inspired by Turkish culinary traditions. Kabak corbasi, as it's known, requires just a handful of ingredients to create a velvety smooth and flavorful experience. A dollop of creamy Greek yogurt adds a tangy counterpoint, while crusty bread is perfect for soaking up every last drop.

Follow The Directions

01

Step

2 mins

In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, combine the cubed pumpkin with 1 1/3 cups of the chicken broth. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

02

Step

15 mins

Cover the pan and simmer over medium-low heat until the pumpkin is completely tender and easily pierced with a fork (approximately 15 minutes). (Cook time: 15 minutes)

03

Step

3 mins

Remove the pan from the heat. Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the pumpkin mixture until completely smooth and creamy. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

04

Step

5 mins

Stir in the remaining chicken broth, sugar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Return the pan to low heat and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. (Cook time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

Ladle the pumpkin soup into bowls and garnish each serving with a generous dollop of Greek yogurt. Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.

For a richer flavor, try roasting the pumpkin cubes before simmering. Toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast at 400°F (200°C) until tender and slightly caramelized.
If you don't have an immersion blender, you can carefully puree the soup in a regular blender. Be sure to vent the lid to prevent pressure from building up.
Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar and seasoning to your liking. A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can also add a lovely warmth.
For a vegan version, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth and use a plant-based yogurt alternative.
