Instructions

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the chorizo over medium heat until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Stir in the pumpkin puree, chicken or vegetable broth, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

4. Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded.

6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and a swirl of heavy cream.

Notes

For a creamier texture, you can blend the soup using an immersion blender or regular blender. Adjust the amount of broth to achieve your desired consistency. If you prefer a milder flavor, start with a smaller amount of cayenne pepper and add more to taste.
