Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 1” cube fresh ginger, peeled and finely diced
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 3 large cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (14 oz) can pumpkin puree (about 1 3/4 cups)
- 1 cup light coconut milk (canned preferred)
- 2 cups vegetable broth (check for no added sugars)
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1/3 cup all natural almond butter, no sugar added
- 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Instructions
- Sauté aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add avocado oil, diced ginger, minced garlic, and chopped onion. Stir frequently for 3-4 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
- Add remaining ingredients: Pour in the pumpkin puree, light coconut milk, vegetable broth, coconut aminos, almond butter, and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, salt). Whisk everything together until smooth and well combined.
- Simmer the soup: Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Blend the soup: Transfer the soup mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Puree until the soup reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Final simmer: Return the blended soup to the pot if needed and bring it back to a simmer. Cook for an additional 10 minutes to meld the flavors and heat through thoroughly.
- Serve and enjoy: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve with your favorite toppings. Enjoy this comforting and nutritious pumpkin soup!
Notes
- You can substitute the light coconut milk with another non-dairy milk, but the texture might be less thick.
- When choosing vegetable broth, double-check the label to avoid added sugars if following strict dietary restrictions.
- This soup is excellent served with a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds or fresh herbs on top.
