Introduction

Thick and creamy pumpkin soup. Adjust spices for your tastes... the cayenne is to my liking, so a bit on the spicy side. Sub milk, cream, or evaporated milk if you don't have coconut, though the coconut plays nicely with the spices. Sub water or vegetable broth to make this vegan. Makes 4 generous 2 cup servings.

Ingredients

    2 tbsp Earth Balance buttery spread (or butter/spread of your choice)
    1 small onion, diced
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1 tbsp cumin
    2 tsp ground cinnamon
    1.5 tsp ground ginger
    1.5 tsp ground nutmeg
    0.5 tsp ground cloves
    0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
    1 large (29oz) can pure pumpkin, or 3.5 cups pureed pumpkin
    1 can (14.5 oz) low sodium Chicken Broth, or Veggie Broth, or water (2 cups)
    2.5 cups Coconut milk (ok to use canned, I use So Delicious brand in the carton)
    1.5 tsp salt
    2 tsp brown sugar (optional)

Directions

Melt butter/spread over med-high heat in large pot. Add diced onion, garlic, cinnamon, cumin, red pepper, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Cook and stir 3-5 minutes, until onion softened. Add pumpkin, coconut milk, and broth. Stir until smooth, adding more liquid of your choice to make thinner, if preferred. Let simmer about 15 minutes for flavors to blend. Add salt and adjust seasonings to your taste. Sprinkle with brown sugar, if using, and stir. Makes 4 servings, 2 cups each.
Very thick and creamy!

    Very Good
    It made a nice, thick soup, perfect for dinner with a salad and bread sticks. The whole family liked this. I'll definitely make it again. Our family likes spicy food, so I'd consider increasing the cayenne; it's pretty tame as it is. - 1/9/11
