No, I didn’t have this Mexican fusion pumpkin soup in Mexico. I had chips. Almost pink with paprika and dripping with fresh lime juice that was squeezed over them right before my eyes. They were fantastic. The best crisps I had in my life, bought from a Mexican grandma in a sunny park in Mexico City between palmtrees and cacti, and I celebrated every bite.

This fabulous combination came to mind when I wanted to pimp my pumpkin soup the other day and saw the smoked tofu and lime in the fridge. I could pair that with smoked paprika, I thought and it became a hit.

Now we have this pumpkin soup every other day. With its onions, garlic, ginger, lime, cilantro, pepper and chili, it is the perfect weapon against the sniffling that comes with the Berlin winter. 

The pumpkin soup can be made with

  • Hokkaido pumpkin
  • butternut squash
  • sweet potatoes 
  • even carrots and normal potatoes
