Pumpkin Soup Recipe
Ingredients (Serves 4-6):
- 1 medium pumpkin (about 2-3 lbs)
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for roasting
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Prep the Pumpkin: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Carefully cut the pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds (save them for roasting!), and brush the flesh with olive oil. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Roast: Roast the pumpkin for 45 minutes or until fork-tender. Let it cool slightly, then scoop out the flesh and set aside.
3️⃣ Sauté Veggies: In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant (about 5 minutes). Add chopped carrots and cook for another 5 minutes.
4️⃣ Season & Simmer: Add the roasted pumpkin, ground cumin, salt, and pepper to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth, stir, and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes until the carrots are soft.
5️⃣ Blend: Use an immersion blender (or transfer to a blender in batches) to blend the soup until smooth and creamy.
6️⃣ Add Creaminess: Stir in the coconut milk for a rich, velvety texture. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
7️⃣ Serve: Ladle into bowls, garnish with a swirl of coconut milk or a sprinkle of roasted pumpkin seeds, and enjoy the cozy vibes!
Tips for Success:
- Make it Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes for a warming kick.
- Save Time: Use canned pumpkin puree (about 2 cups) if you’re short on time—just skip the roasting step.
- Meal Prep: This soup freezes beautifully! Store in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
- Pair It: Serve with a slice of whole-grain bread or a side salad for a complete, spine-healthy meal.
