This is an easy, delicious, pumpkin soup flavored with spices and yoghurt. Balkabagi, pumpkin, is sold in street stalls and farmers markets, Pazar, at home, either as a whole or in huge, deseeded chunks and we love its natural sweetness.

I mildly flavored our pumpkin soup, Balkabagi Corbasi, with ground cumin and red pepper flakes. Warming, pungent cumin and a delicious spicy kick from red pepper flakes or chili flakes work well with the sweetness of the pumpkin. Adding plain yoghurt at the end gives a lovely creamy texture and a bit of tartness, really delicious and wholesome. When pumpkin is not in season, you can try this soup with butternut squash.

I hope you enjoy this nutritious, easy pumpkin soup, packed with flavor.

Afiyet Olsun,

Ozlem
