Instructions

1 If using fresh pumpkin, halve and remove seeds from a small pumpkin or other
squash (I LOVE using kabocha squash for this recipe).
2 Place cut side down on a baking sheet and roast in a 350 degree oven for about
45 minutes, or until a fork pierces through the flesh easily.
3 Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Remove the flesh from the
outer skin and cut into cubes. Set aside.
4 In a large pot, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the chopped
onion and cook until it turns soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes, then add
the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
5 Stir in the pumpkin purée (or cooked pumpkin), cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for
2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
6 Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes,
stirring occasionally.
7 For a smooth and creamy texture, use an immersion blender to purée the soup
directly in the pot. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a
blender and blend until smooth. Be careful with hot liquids!
8 Stir in the coconut milk or heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to thicken and develop more
flavor.
9 Ladle the pumpkin soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings like
roasted pumpkin seeds, crispy bacon, a dollop of sour cream, or fresh herbs like
thyme or parsley.
