In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable broth, coconut milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Allow the soup to cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the maple syrup and stir to incorporate.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth and creamy. If you do not have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds before serving. Serve warm.
