Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. SautΓ© the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Transfer the sautΓ©ed onion and garlic to the crock pot.
Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable broth, coconut milk, curry powder, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper to the crock pot. Stir to combine the ingredients thoroughly.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
After cooking, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until creamy, then return it to the crock pot.
Taste the soup and adjust seasonings as needed (e.g., add more salt, pepper, or maple syrup for sweetness).
Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and pumpkin seeds if desired.
