Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in ground cumin, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper (if using), and cook for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
Add the pumpkin puree and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in coconut milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the bisque is smooth.
Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
