Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

4 cups pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)

4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 cup coconut milk (or heavy cream)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Pumpkin seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

    Spice it Up: Add the ground cumin, ginger, and nutmeg to the pot. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.

      Add Pumpkin: Incorporate the pumpkin puree into the pot, mixing it with the onion and spices. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

        Pour in the Broth: Gradually add the vegetable or chicken broth, stirring until fully combined. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

          Blend for Creaminess: Remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. (Alternatively, you can carefully transfer it to a countertop blender in batches.)

            Add Creaminess: Return the blended soup to low heat and stir in the coconut milk (or heavy cream). Season with salt and pepper to taste, allowing it to warm through for another 5 minutes.

              Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with fresh parsley or chives and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds for added crunch if desired.

                Enjoy: Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
