Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams pumpkin puree
- 1 medium (finely chopped) onion
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 750 milliliters vegetable stock
- 200 milliliters coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 50 milliliters heavy cream (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until it softens and turns translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, and paprika. Stir to coat the onions with the spices, cooking for 1 minute.
Stir in the pumpkin puree and pour in the vegetable stock. Mix everything until well combined.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the coconut milk and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until it is smooth and creamy. Alternatively, let the soup cool slightly and blend it in batches using a stand blender.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot with a swirl of heavy cream, a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds, and fresh parsley if desired.
