Coconut Cream Pumpkin Soup with Lobster and Wild Mushrooms

Pumpkins aren't just for display or carving jack o' lanterns, they make amazing soup too. This is one of my favorite pumpkin soup recipes I hope you will try. It's even more special serving it to family and friends inside a baked pumpkin like this.
I don’t use canned pumpkin so It takes a little more time, but don’t let that put you off trying it. It’s also packed with immune-boosting benefits too, ginger and turmeric. Which means it’s a great option for cold and flu season.
The earliest versions of pumpkin dishes were actually pumpkin shells that had been cleaned out and filled with ginger-spiced milk, then roasted by the fire. Delicious coconut milk pumpkin soup with sautéed chanterelle mushrooms and poached lobster - get me a spoon!

If I ever win the lottery, I’d love to ask Mr.McGrady to my home to eat with me and my family. A most interesting person indeed and such a wonderful passion for cooking.

This is pumpkin genocide

Thanks for not adding sweetness to it!

[@mistreme8341]

I make an old Native American stew that is called Three Sisters Stew. The Three Sisters of Native American food are corn, beans, and squash. When growing together, they complement one another providing nourishment, protection, and support for each other. Around this time of year, I will use pumpkin as the squash and cook it in broth with beans and hominy. I can make it vegetarian or with meat where I prefer to use turkey, which is traditional.

[@amandachavez5795]

Sounds delicious!!!

[@LadyOaksNZ]

I bet you have delicious Native American dishes. 😊

[@JustAThought155]

Just when I all but gave up on seeing a new video from Darren the chef, he reappears with a recipe fit for a QUEEN!!!! Wow!!! That looks very nice! So, I sit eating Belgium tea biscuits as I watch this fabulous dish unfold. Good to see you again! P. S. I always make sure I am eating while watching chefs share their artistry.

[@Abyssinian121]

Things are starting to open back up,, so I hope he doesn't have as much free time to make videos and is instead, getting his catering business back up and humming. I consider any video we get from him a treat, and this was no exception. If they aren't posted as frequently as they were during last year's lockdowns and quarantine orders, that's okay. As long as we get to share in the recipes, I'm totally good. I do miss Winston as a part of the dialogue though, even if it's a bit one-sided.

[@margaretteoh1428]

Sounds good an interesting soup

[@oldarpanet]

A favorite autumn dish here is your favorite beef stew (onions, carrot, celery, bay, thyme potatoes etc.) cooked up, and poured into a cleaned-out pumpkin. The whole thing placed into a 375F oven for an hour or so, then placed on a platter and taken to the table. Serve the stew at table, scraping the ladle against the sides of the pumpkin (to add it to the stew). Beautiful presentation, wonderful stew with roasted pumpkin!

[@spicerack4397]

You're killing me, darlin'. Drooling here. Sounds sublime.

[@krob2445]

That’s exactly what my folks do for our Halloween meal. We call it our pumpkin stew!

[@queensakura3890]

i love that!

[@tosht2515]

I’d have to roast some additional mini pumpkins so everyone could enjoy their own individual beautiful bowl. 😀

[@rachelbaziak4159]

Good idea!

[@simonwillis6902]

So Darren, to my untrained eye, I'd say you've definitely found your passion in life! Crikey, that looks good! Best regards Simon 🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@pmchamlee]

How delighful it is to watch you create dishes, Sir Darren!

[@jerim4543]

I'm always intimidated by pumpkins and winter squash. Thanks for you tips.

[@axiomist4488]

I love that pumpkin soup. Cubans eat pumpkin regularly, it's a normal part of dinner occasionally. We use the larger ones, about 10 or 12 inches high and cut out a slice or two, cut it in pieces so they'll fit in the pot and simply just boil it till it's tender. Then serve plain or with olive oil and enjoy with the rest of the dinner. Why do you call the large one "fairy tale" ?

[@vincestrickland595]

Omg - this looks too good , all my favs in one soup. If i get up the courage , perhaps I’ll attempt it :) Thx Darren …

[@staceysays2390]

Oh I will most certainly be making this while pumpkins are still in season. Thanks so much for the great video Darren!!

[@tarinawarby5971]

I’m totally excited to try this recipe! I have been looking for a good pumpkin soup recipe.

[@mohammarfareeq1019]

Looks absolutely amazing, will most definitely try this out soon!

[@lesliecas2695]

I remember Darren's "Eating Royally" book and loved how quintessentially English it was. It's so interesting to see how he's added quintessential American flavors to his repertoire. Darren should tell the story of when his young daughter came home from school with a drawing of a turkey made with an outline of her hand. That is an American Thanksgiving experience.

[@ceciliac2225]

Never mind a spoon. Get me a supersize ladle please.

[@cyberqueen7784]

Looks really delicious! A great indulgence with that poached lobster as well! Thanks for the tips regarding cutting sugar pie pumpkins. I've always wanted to make a pumpkin dish with a fresh pumpkin. And you've got a savory version which is good! I may be better at sweets, but I like to try my hand at savory too.

[@yautatchannel]

Thanks Darren. Pumpkin soup is one of my favourites!

I made pumpkin soup this week but I will try this recipe as I think that those flavor combinations will be amazing. Any recipe recommendations for other types of pumpkin? I usually buy them as decorations but after Halloween, I cook them.

[@gingershaffer2547]

[@victoriousspirit8955]

That’s just beautifully presented!

[@crying2emoji5]

Okay!! I finally finished this! It’s sooo good! I couldn’t find any ginger root or turmeric at my local store so I had to use the powdered versions… I don’t know how much that effects the flavor but it was still really really yummy! I would definitely reccomend this recipe!

[@crying2emoji5]

What the hell this looks incredible this is like an autumn dream

[@James-zj9ky]

I've many pots of pumpkin soup but never put wild mushrooms and lobster in it. I'll be using your recipe the next time I make this.

That is such a beautiful presentation, I've seen other pumpkin bowls but somehow you've managed to top them all. No wonder you cooked at a palace.

[@southernwanderer7912]

I find it interesting that the world associates America with pumpkins, but the majority of us have nothing to do with them and don't utilize them at all, except as jack-o-lanterns during Halloween, but nothing to do with them even at Thanksgiving. Pumpkin use appears in certain regions of the U.S. only and at Starbucks.

[@Food_video]

Traditional British pumpkin dish It looks so delicious It also looks good for health

[@victoriahann4222]

Darren, to have a person with your good mood in the kitchen is the amazing and apart of this that this person is making something so delicious is doubly amazing!!!!,,,I really not can understand why you not are with, well you know, in this moment, because if you says to me in my palace I will go for America, I will tie you in a chair and you not will go to nowhere else!!!👌,,, I not want to know the reasons because that is something very private, but this soup would be soooo good for a person that need reestablish forces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Well Darren, you can to be sure that I will be doing this exquisite soup, but not only are ingredients in the kitchen, the love and the hands and the heart that you puts can do of your soup something special!!!!, Darren, you have done a call to she that not is in good...Victoria shut your mouth (I speaks with myself),,,Greetings Darren!!✌️👌👏

[@edstraker8451]

I love to have chicken fried rice (nasi goreng ayam) with it. A fantastic combination, especially when it's cold.

[@johnwinnerd8511]

I wonder if chicken of the woods mushrooms cut in strips lightly fried then added with chantrells on the pumkin soup. As vegetarian option instead of lobster. Or bite size button caps of white or brown mushrooms Sautéed in with cubed rock fish then added to the soup

[@johnwinnerd8511]

Rock fish is the canadian cousin to the halibut.

I have bought acorn squash to roast for our Halloween dinner. I am not sure what i will be filling the centers in. I am considering wild rice and grilled Portobello. If you have other suggestions that would be greatly appreciated!🍁🌻🌛

[@crying2emoji5]

As I began to work on this recipe, I quickly realized that I don’t have a single sharp knife in my kitchen… 😩

[@jadafrahm7135]

I make butternut squash soup a lot in the fall & winter. I cut up onion, peeled and chopped butternut squash and place them in a pan. Sprinkling of curry powder, turmeric, salt and pepper and just cover with a chicken stock. Boil til tender and that evaporates just the right amount of liquid. Using an immersion blender til smooth. I either stir in cream or add butter and cream to my bowl. Seriously the best.

[@deborahhardy4445]

Looks beautiful and delicious! Very celebratory!

Darren, this made me cry as did the original announcement. She was a uncommon woman and no one will be like her. Godspeed your Majesty.

Do you have any more authentic Greek recipes for Prince Philip? Thanks

[@stephanieruggles7783]

My mom spoiled us for that soup: her version was so greasy and thick that my daughter and me will never eat pumpkin soup again. But pumpkin pie I would eat. Do you have are recipe for pumpkin pie Darren? Or have you tried spaghetti pumpkin? Och aye the latter is so easy to make. And served with butter, pepper and salt is all it needs after baking it. Id rather opt for the wet paper towel instead of the board buddies. We dont need more plastic in our ocean. But thats just me.

[@pattizayas1051]

I find roasting pumpkin while its whole is so much easier n then do as u did.........btw oh hell yea!

[@ssparozic4832]

Looks fantastic! Why not an immersion blender.?

[@mrssauravdasthakur]

He is so suave and aging so gracefully!!! Awww!!!☺

[@clavesseptem7223]

As a pumpkin lover, this is just....decadent. Absolutely divinely decadent. I'm curious: Have you ever cooked with taro or poi?

[@MrMeunier77]

Dominican Republic people do this in a red sauce instead of pumpkin. You need to level your table also.

[@crying2emoji5]

This looks incredible. If I where to make it I would use chanterelle mushroom, shrimp and Hokkaido pumpkin. Shrimp is purely for saving money.

[@eurekalass]

My word! What a wonderful combination of flavours, lobster with pumpkin, wow! Pumpkin in Australia is still an everyday delicious vegetable, also baked in foil with garlic butter on the BBQ. We don’t have it canned or baked in pies with an overload of spices - can you even taste the pumpkin? - so I can’t comment on that… but this soup…ticks all the boxes for me! Thanks, Darren x

Hi Darren 🙂👋 , I really like Pumpkin 🎃 I dont carve them anymore 🙃 However , I do still have to eat ? I really enjoy Pumpkin for Health reasons too . Very Yang in macrobiotic cuisine. My recipe which has a tiny dash of Curry ( initially a suggested addition by a Four Star Chef , My Friends Fiancé at the x , suggested It , as I asked for Him to taste and what did It need , perfect suggestion ! Exactly what It required ! We were staying at their house ( during fumigation ) and My Fiance working Production , came down with a very horrible 24 hour virus ( dripping sweat ) . I believe the Pumpkin Soup cured within hours , the next Day totally fine . - I want to try the Turmeric only too ) My Pumpkin Soup Vegan recipe is withe sides too : Fresh Watercress , Croutons , maybe Cornbread ones , sautéed diced Golden Apples , nice Extra V Olive Oil to drizzle , Parmaesan V , Red Pepper Flakes ... And now thinking that Coconut Creme is an excellent side choice too , maybe even also Lime and or Lemon wedges , And those Chantarelles for extra Special memorable Occasion😃 Thanksgiving🧡🤍

[@DLFH]

For the love of chocolate this looks amazing!! I may try to add this to our Thanksgiving holiday meal plans.
