Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 small pumpkin, peeled and cubed Choose a firm and heavy pumpkin for best results.
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
  • 1 cup coconut milk Can be substituted with almond milk for a lighter version.
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for sautéing
Optional Toppings

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add the grated ginger and cubed pumpkin to the pot, stirring for about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer until the pumpkin is tender, approximately 20 minutes.
  4. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Stir in the coconut milk and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve hot and garnish with optional toppings like pumpkin seeds and fresh herbs.
