Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree (or 2 cups fresh cooked pumpkin)
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: roasted pumpkin seeds or a swirl of cream for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and celery and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add pumpkin puree and vegetable broth. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes.
  4. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or blend in batches in a regular blender.
  5. Return to heat and stir in cream or coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Warm through.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with pumpkin seeds or a swirl of cream if desired.

Notes

  • For extra richness, sauté the vegetables in a mix of butter and olive oil.
  • Add a dash of cayenne pepper for a subtle kick.
