Ingredients

• 4 cups pumpkin puree
• 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
• 3 cups vegetable broth
• 1 medium (finely chopped) yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
• 1.5 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon (freshly squeezed) lime juice
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) cilantro
• 2 tablespoons (for garnish, optional) pumpkin seeds

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the curry powder and ground cumin to the pot, stirring constantly for 1 minute to toast the spices and enhance their flavors.

Step 5

Stir in the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, and vegetable broth, making sure everything is well combined.

Step 6

Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Stir in the maple syrup, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 8

Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, let the soup cool slightly and blend in batches using a countertop blender.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro and pumpkin seeds, if using.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
