Ingredients
- 900 grams Pumpkin (peeled, seeded, and cubed)
- 2 cups Leeks (white and light green parts only, thinly sliced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 4 cups Vegetable stock
- 1 cup Coconut milk (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the sliced leeks and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the leeks are softened and fragrant, but not browned.
Step 3
Add the cubed pumpkin to the pot and stir to coat with the oil and leeks.
Step 4
Pour in the vegetable stock, ensuring the pumpkin is fully submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the pumpkin is soft and easily pierced with a fork.
Step 5
Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until creamy.
Step 7
Stir in the coconut milk and return the soup to low heat to warm through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Serve warm, garnished with a pinch of nutmeg if desired.
