Perfect for cooler evenings or as a cozy starter, this vegan soup comes together easily and delivers plenty of flavor with just a handful of ingredients.

What You'll Need

1 kg pumpkin, peeled and seeded

½ cup coconut milk

2 tablespoons oil

1 heaping teaspoon minced ginger

½ teaspoon turmeric

Salt, to taste

White pepper, to taste

How to Make It

Use a heavy-bottomed pot for best results.

Cut the pumpkin into cubes and place it in the pot together with the minced ginger.

Add a small amount of water, only enough to cover the pumpkin and no more.

Add the turmeric, salt, and white pepper.

Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the pumpkin becomes soft and tender.

Add the coconut milk to the pot.

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until completely smooth and creamy. If you prefer, carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender and blend until silky.

Serve warm and enjoy.

Make It Your Own

For even more flavor, try topping the soup with roasted pumpkin seeds, fresh herbs, toasted croutons, or an extra drizzle of coconut milk.

Creamy, comforting, and packed with gentle flavor, this pumpkin coconut soup is proof that simple ingredients can create something truly satisfying.
