Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound pumpkin, cubed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 large carrots, chopped
- 2 1/4 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups canned coconut milk
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the butter to a large soup pot and place it over medium heat. Once the butter is hot and melted, add the chopped onion and cook for about 2 minutes until softened. Then add the minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant.
- Add Vegetables and Spices: Stir in the cubed pumpkin, curry powder, cinnamon, minced ginger, and chopped carrots. Mix well to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices.
- Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine everything, then bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pumpkin and carrots are soft and tender.
- Blend the Soup: Remove the soup pot from the heat. Using a blender or food processor, carefully blend the soup in batches until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the pot.
- Finish with Coconut Milk: Return the blended soup to the stove over low heat. Stir in the canned coconut milk until fully incorporated and heated through. Adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve warm.
