Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh pumpkin, peeled and cubed (or 1 can of pureed pumpkin)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 13.5 oz can of full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Pumpkin:
Wash, peel, and cube the pumpkin (if using fresh). If using canned pumpkin, skip this step. Chop the onion and mince the garlic. - Sauté Aromatics:
Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions for 5-7 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. - Cook the Pumpkin:
Add the cubed pumpkin to the pot and stir to coat with the aromatics. Pour in vegetable broth, bring to a simmer, and cook uncovered for about 25 minutes, until the pumpkin is fork-tender. - Blend the Soup:
Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a stand blender, blend in batches, then return the soup to the pot. - Add Coconut Milk and Spices:
Stir in the coconut milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and season with salt and pepper. Gently heat over low for 5 minutes until warmed through.
Notes
- Substitute: You can use canned pureed pumpkin instead of fresh pumpkin to save time.
- Toppings: Top with a swirl of coconut milk, a sprinkle of roasted pumpkin seeds, or a drizzle of balsamic reduction for extra flavor.
- Make Ahead: This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
