Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups pumpkin (freshly peeled and cubed or canned)
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 cups heavy cream or coconut milk
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoons maple syrup
- 0.25 cups pumpkin seeds or croutons (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cubed or canned pumpkin to the pot and stir to combine.
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pumpkin is very soft and tender.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the heavy cream or coconut milk into the pot and stir until fully incorporated.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Stir in the maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
Serve hot, garnished with pumpkin seeds or croutons if desired.
