Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 500g pumpkin, peeled and cubed
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk or cream
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and chop the pumpkin into small cubes. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic to ensure even cooking and maximum flavor release.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Cook the Pumpkin: Add the cubed pumpkin to the pot, tossing it with the onions and garlic. Cook for a couple of minutes to slightly caramelize the pumpkin, enhancing its natural sweetness.
  4. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth to cover the ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the pumpkin is very tender.
  5. Blend Until Smooth: Use an immersion blender in the pot or transfer the soup in batches to a blender. Blend until silky smooth and lump-free for a luxurious texture.
  6. Add Cream and Season: Stir in coconut milk or cream to enrich the soup. Season with cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper, adjusting spices to taste for the perfect cozy bite.

Notes

  • Choose sugar pumpkins or carving pumpkins for sweet, tender flesh.
  • Caramelize the pumpkin before simmering to boost flavor.
  • Use fresh ground spices for optimal warmth and aroma.
  • Blend thoroughly to achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Adjust soup consistency by adding more broth or cream if too thick.
  • Warm soup bowls before serving to maintain comforting heat.
