Creating Easy Pumpkin Soup can be straightforward and enjoyable if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Pumpkin: Start by peeling, seeding, and cubing the pumpkin. This can take some time, but it’s crucial for the soup’s smooth texture.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it’s translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3. Add the Pumpkin: Stir in the cubed pumpkin, coating it with the onion and garlic mixture.
4. Pour in the Broth: Add the vegetable broth to the pot, ensuring the pumpkin is submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Season the Soup: Sprinkle in the ground cumin, ginger, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
6. Simmer: Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.
7. Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it’s creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches.
8. Add Coconut Milk: Stir in the coconut milk (or heavy cream) and heat through. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
9. Serve Hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or pumpkin seeds if desired.

By following these steps, you’ll create an incredible Easy Pumpkin Soup that is sure to impress!
