THE RECIPE

PLANT-BASED PUMPKIN SOUP

~Makes About 4 Bowls~

Ingredients:

  • 2.5 cups of pure organic pumpkin purée (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
  • 2 cups of organic vegetable broth
  • 1 cup of diluted organic coconut milk (like this)
  • 1/2 an organic yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves of organic garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon of organic Ceylon cinnamon
  • Himalayan pink salt and organic black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons of pure organic maple syrup (if you prefer to add more natural sweetness)

Preparation:

  1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, add 1-2 tablespoons of water. Once it’s hot, add the diced onion and minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions and garlic are slightly browned and translucent. (You will use the same pan to heat the soup, as detailed in step #3.)
  2. Put the pumpkin, vegetable broth, coconut milk, maple syrup and cinnamon in a high-speed blender(I use a Blendtec). Add the cooked onions and garlic, and purée until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture into the saucepan and cook on medium-to-low heat for 5-10 minutes. Taste the soup as it heats, and add Himalayan pink salt and black pepper as needed.

LEFTOVERS: Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days, and in the freezer for a month or more.

Optional toppings:

Want to jazz up your soup with some toppings? When it’s time to dig in, add some raw pumpkin seeds/pepitas for crunch, cayenne pepper powder for spice or shredded coconut for an extra touch of natural sweetness and texture.
