Description

A comforting, creamy pumpkin soup that warms your heart, perfect for autumn gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 cups pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk (full fat for creaminess)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pumpkin seeds and fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic, cumin, and cinnamon, cooking until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  4. Add the pumpkin puree to the sautéed mixture.
  5. Slowly pour in the vegetable broth, stirring until well combined.
  6. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Using an immersion blender, purée the soup directly in the pot until smooth (or transfer to a blender in batches).
  8. Stir in coconut milk and season with salt and pepper.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with pumpkin seeds and herbs if desired.

Notes

For added spice, include a pinch of cayenne. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
