Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 15 ounces canned pumpkin puree 1 can, not pumpkin pie filling
- 4 cups vegetable broth low sodium
- 1 cup coconut milk or heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- salt and pepper to taste
Optional Garnishes
- roasted pumpkin seeds
- fresh herbs like parsley or chives
- croutons
- drizzle of cream
Instructions
- In a large soup pot, heat the butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Add the canned pumpkin puree to the pot and continue to cook, stirring, for another 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and stir well to combine with the pumpkin puree.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Stir in the coconut milk or heavy cream to make the soup rich and creamy. Adjust the amount to achieve your desired consistency.
- Season the soup with ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Start with a little seasoning and add more as needed, tasting as you go.
- Let the soup simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to fully incorporate the flavors.
- Serve hot, garnished with your choice of toppings such as roasted pumpkin seeds, a drizzle of cream, chopped fresh herbs, or croutons.

Notes
- Fresh vs. Canned Pumpkin: Canned pumpkin is quick and easy, but for a fresher flavor, you can roast and puree a pie pumpkin.
- Consistency Control: Add more broth for a thinner soup or increase the pumpkin puree for a thicker texture.
- Dairy-Free Options: Coconut milk makes this soup dairy-free, but you can also use almond milk or other plant-based milk for creaminess.
- Spice It Up: Feel free to adjust the spices to your taste. A pinch of cayenne can add a nice kick.
- Garnish Galore: Get creative with toppings! Try roasted pumpkin seeds for crunch, a dollop of sour cream for tang, or even crispy bacon bits for a savory twist.
- Storage and Reheating: This soup stores well in the fridge for a few days and tastes even better the next day. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a little extra broth if needed.
