Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
  • 1 can (13.5 ounces) light coconut milk
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ยฝ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
  • Optional toppings: toasted pumpkin seeds, coconut milk swirl, fresh cilantro, chili oil

Instructions

  1. Prep your aromatics: dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the curry powder, turmeric, and cumin. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds to toast the spices.
  5. Pour in the pumpkin puree and vegetable broth. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  6. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Add the light coconut milk and stir until fully incorporated. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
  8. Add the apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir and adjust seasoning to taste.
  9. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, let cool slightly and blend in batches in a countertop blender.
  10. Serve hot with desired toppings.

Notes

For a richer soup, use full-fat coconut milk. Let the soup sit for an hour before serving to allow flavors to meld. Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
