Pumpkin soup is the ultimate comfort food, especially when it's packed with warm spices and creamy coconut milk—perfect for cozy nights in!
1. Sauté the onion and spices
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened—about 5 minutes. Then, toss in the garlic, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Sauté for another minute until the spices are fragrant.
2. Simmer the soup
Add pumpkin puree and vegetable broth to the pot, stirring to combine. Bring the soup to a simmer, and let it cook for 15 minutes.
3. Add sweetness and creaminess
Stir in maple syrup and coconut milk. Then, blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender, or carefully transfer it in batches to a blender.
Once blended, cook the soup for an additional 2 minutes.
4. Serve and enjoy
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings like a drizzle of olive oil, greek yogurt, fresh parsley, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for some heat.
