Peel and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Wash and dice the carrot, celery stalks, and zucchini into small even pieces.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the diced carrots, celery, and zucchini to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the pumpkin puree, ensuring it is well combined with the vegetables.
Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and add the ground black pepper, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the fresh thyme and half of the parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with the remaining fresh parsley.
