Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
In the crock pot, combine the pumpkin puree, sautéed onion mixture, vegetable broth, coconut milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once the soup has finished 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.
Stir in the maple syrup and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with pumpkin seeds and fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy!
