Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs peeled, deseeded, and chopped pumpkin
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp chopped ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried oregano or thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 cups healing broth or water 
• 1 cup light coconut milk 
• 2-3 tbsp pumpkin seeds, to serve (optional)

Directions:

In a large pot on medium-high heat add the pumpkin, onion, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, paprika, oregano or thyme, red pepper flakes, and vegetable stock or water to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes until the pumpkin is tender. 

Transfer mixture to a blender and add the coconut milk. Blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes on high speed. Alternatively you can use an immersion blender.

Pour the soup back in the pot and heat until warm. Divide soup between bowls and top with pumpkin seeds (if using). Serve immediately.
