"Pumpkin Soup" is a song by Kate Nash and is her fourth single, the third to be lifted from her debut album "Made of Bricks". It was released on December 17, 2007, making it a contender for the Christmas number one and entered the charts at number 58 on the UK Top 75 based on downloads only, then reached number 40 with a physical release the following week. It reached a peak of number 23 on January 6, equalling the peak of previous single "Mouthwash".

Nash stated in an interview on BBC Radio 1 that the title "Pumpkin Soup" was a working title she had saved on her computer when writing early versions of the song, and that her record company had originally intended to name it "I Just Want Your Kiss" after the main lyric in the song.

Music video

The music video for "Pumpkin Soup" was directed by Kinga Burza and sees Nash in an over-sized novelty world inhabited by giant cats and bright colours, and is titled as by "Little Red Productions", a reference to the final track of Made of Bricks, "Little Red".

The video also features her and a boy in a kissing booth, which reflects the chorus lyric "I just want your kiss, boy," and main props include Love Hearts and bears. The character of "Boy" is played by Nash's real-life friend, photographer Wesley Goode.
