Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams pumpkin (peeled, deseeded, and cubed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 medium carrot (peeled and chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 3 cups vegetable stock
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cubed pumpkin, chopped carrot, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir to coat the vegetables in the spices.
Pour in the vegetable stock, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the pumpkin and carrot are tender.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until creamy, being careful with the hot liquid.
Return the soup to the pot if using a blender, and stir in the unsweetened coconut milk. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the soup warm, garnished with pumpkin seeds and fresh parsley if desired.
