Ingredients

• 2 cups pumpkin puree
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 medium onion
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 2 tablespoons red curry paste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely dice the onion. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red curry paste to the pot. Stir well and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the ground cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Stir to evenly coat the aromatics in the spices.

Step 5

Add the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients into a smooth mixture.

Step 6

Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and the maple syrup. Stir again.

Step 7

Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Remove the pot from heat and let the soup cool slightly. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer it in batches to a regular blender and blend until creamy.

Step 9

Return the soup to low heat, if needed, and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper to taste. Stir in the lime juice for a burst of freshness.

Step 10

Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds if desired. Enjoy!
