1. Prepare all your ingredients by peeling and cubing the sweet potato, chopping the onion, and mincing the garlic.
2. In a 6-quart crock pot, combine the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, and chicken or vegetable broth. Stir until well mixed.
3. Add the sweet potato cubes, chopped onion, and minced garlic into the mixture.
4. Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, including the liquid, and gently stir.
5. Stir in the korma curry paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until the spices are evenly distributed.
6. Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low heat for 6 hours or until the sweet potato is tender.
7. Once cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the crock pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture in batches to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the crock pot.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or spices to your preference.
9. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each serving with fresh chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a fresh citrus kick.
10. Enjoy your cozy, flavorful Crock Pot Southwestern Pumpkin Soup!
