This Indian pumpkin soup recipe uses very less ingredients and relies on the flavour of pumpkin itself. This is because pumpkin is not only delicious but also has many health benefits. A cup of pumpkin cubes fulfils your day’s requirement of vitamin A (5526 mcg), thus making it a super bhopla soup for your eyes.
You would never have imagined the possibility of preparing such a luxuriant kaddu ka soup at such a low-calorie count! We have used low fat butter in this recipe for weight watchers. If you are healthy, then use regular butter in the pumpkin soup.
The pumpkin soup will be naturally creamy due to the soft pumpkin. Even though it is a savory soup, the slight sweetness of the pumpkin makes it even more delicious.
A real treat for pumpkin lovers, this delicious kaddu ka soup has an enticing flavour and irresistibly herby aroma. Pair this pumpkin soup with a healthy salad to form a healthy meal. Take a look at our collection of healthy quick Indian salads.

This looks delicious. However, I do meal prep for a week. Can I make this in one go and store it for a week, or this recipe isn''t well suited for storage and re-heating?

Soup a bit watery. Low fat milk got curdled. Recipe easy. Please advise?

Hi Ashok, Low-fat milk expires within 4 days of opening the carton. Did you ensure that? Also, make sure you have cooled the pumpkin completely and then only blended and added to the milk and oregano. Furthermore, do not cook for more than 3 minutes after adding the milk. We hope you follow these steps carefully.

This soup is defintely very healthy and yummy but I think 4 cups of water is too much. I have tried this recipe twice and both the times the soup was so watery, 3 cups gives it a better consistency. And yes Oregano lifts up the flavor.
