Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2.2 pounds (1 kg) pumpkin, peeled and cubed
- 14 ounces (400 ml) can unsweetened coconut cream
- 1.5 cups (360 ml) vegetable broth
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
In a large pot, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant (about 5 minutes).
Stir in the dried thyme and cayenne pepper. Cook for another minute to bring out the flavors of the spices.
Add the cubed pumpkin to the pot, stirring to mix it with the spices and aromatics.
Pour in the coconut cream and vegetable broth. Stir everything to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.
Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with toppings like pumpkin seeds, a drizzle of coconut milk, or fresh herbs.

- Protein Add-ins: Stir in lentils or chickpeas for a heartier soup.
