Pumpkin Soup

A must make during pumpkin season! The coconut milk gives this a wonderful creaminess and the spices are perfectly curated.

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds pumpkin, peeled, seeds removed, cut into chunks
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 leek, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 sprigs thyme, leaves removed
  • 1 sprig oregano, leaves removed
  • 5 to 6 cups low sodium chicken broth or bone broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add pumpkin, yellow onion, leek, garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Stir and saute for about 2 minutes, then add in herbs, broth, and bay leaf. 
  •  Bring to a boil, and then turn the heat down to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until pumpkin is soft and fork-tender.
  • Remove from heat and remove bay leaf. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Can also be done in batches with a standing mixer, just allow soup to cool for a few minutes before using that method.
  • Stir in full-fat coconut milk, and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  • Serve garnished with a splash of coconut milk.
