In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable broth, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the coconut milk and maple syrup, and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a blender, then return it to the pot.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or maple syrup to your preference.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with pumpkin seeds and fresh parsley if desired.
