Pumpkin Soup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 3 cloves garlic (or less), minced
- 1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree, or 2 1/4 cups homemade pumpkin puree
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp each salt, black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg
- Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook until slightly browned and translucent
- Add all remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer.
- Let cool and transfer to a blender. With the lid tightly closed, puree the soup. (The soup mixture filled my blender almost to the top. If this makes you nervous, puree the soup in portions.)
- Transfer soup back into the pot once blended.
- Cook over medium heat for for 5 more minutes, until heated through.
