Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 pound pumpkin, cubed
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 large carrots, chopped
Spices & Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Black pepper, to taste
Liquids & Fats
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 1/4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 1/4 cups canned coconut milk
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Add butter into a large soup pot over medium heat. Once hot, add chopped onion and cook for 2 minutes until softened. Then add minced garlic and sauté for another minute to release its aroma.
- Add Vegetables and Spices: Stir in the cubed pumpkin, curry powder, cinnamon, minced ginger, and chopped carrots. Mix well to coat the vegetables in the spices.
- Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let it simmer gently for 20-25 minutes until the pumpkin and carrots are tender.
- Blend the Soup: Remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy.
- Finish with Coconut Milk: Return the blended soup to the stove over low heat. Stir in the coconut milk, warming it through without boiling. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve hot.
Notes
- This soup can be made in a slow cooker or Instant Pot for convenience—adjust cooking times accordingly.
- For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of vegetable broth or let the soup simmer uncovered for a few minutes.
- Add a squeeze of lime juice or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
- Use fresh pumpkin or substitute with canned pumpkin puree if fresh is unavailable, adjusting liquid amounts as needed.
