  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 2 cups fresh pumpkin, peeled and cubed (or 1 can pumpkin purée)
  • 1 medium potato, diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup coconut milk (or any plant-based cream)
  • Juice of ½ lemon (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion, garlic, and carrot. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, until softened and fragrant.

Step 4: Blend the Soup

  1. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.

Step 5: Add Coconut Milk

  2. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add a squeeze of lemon juice if desired for added brightness.
