Pumpkin Curry Soup with Cranberry Relish

There is no denying I love a good spice blend. Layers of flavors, that dance around the star ingredient.

I came across a few variations of a pumpkin curry soup and knew immediately that I wanted to try making it my own.

I had previously purchased some pumpkins, roasted and peeled and then pureed them. So, I was excited to have fresh pumpkin puree for this recipe. You can read my how to here Homemade Pumpkin Puree.

This weekend, Hussein and I got to enjoy a spectacular event at my friend Lena’s Friendsgiving in Portland. 

The dinner was incredible and our salmon was topped with a cranberry relish that I could not get enough of. I made the relish to top this pumpkin soup and to my delight it made the perfect garnish and so my Pumpkin Curry Soup with Cranberry Relish was born!

Thanks for the inspiration, Lena 🙂
