This cozy pumpkin soup is rich, creamy, and infused with warm spices that make every spoonful delightful. Perfect for autumn evenings!

Quick Steps ✨

Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil and sauté onion and garlic until softened.

Add Pumpkin: Add pumpkin purée, spices, and vegetable broth. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Blend Smooth: Use a blender to purée the soup until creamy.

Finish: Stir in coconut milk, season with salt and pepper.

Serve: Garnish with pumpkin seeds and fresh thyme. Enjoy warm!

Step by Step Instructions 📝

1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

2. Build the Soup Base: Add the pumpkin purée, vegetable broth, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Stir well to combine the ingredients. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

3. Blend to Perfection: Carefully transfer the soup to a blender, or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Blend until the soup reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. If it’s too thick, add a bit more vegetable broth to thin it out.

4. Creamy Finish: Return the soup to the pot and stir in the coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes over low heat.

5. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a swirl of coconut milk, a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds, and a few fresh thyme leaves. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting warmth!

Leftover Advice ♻️

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm the soup on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of broth if it’s too thick. The soup may separate slightly when chilled, but a good stir will bring it back to its creamy self!
