Introduction

I love chai tea, so I mixed the spices I usually use when I make chai into a pumpkin coconut soup. Different and delicious! I only cook for myself, so this is one serving. I like to eat this for lunch along with 1/2 a sandwich.

Feel free to play with the spices, and use what you have on hand. I love chai tea, so I mixed the spices I usually use when I make chai into a pumpkin coconut soup. Different and delicious! I only cook for myself, so this is one serving. I like to eat this for lunch along with 1/2 a sandwich.

Ingredients

    1 cup canned pumpkin
    1/3 cup light coconut milk
    1/8-1/4 tsp salt
    1-2 tsp freshly grated ginger Or 1/2-1 tsp ground ginger
    1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
    1/8 tsp cinnamon
    1/8 tsp ground cloves
    Dash of black pepper
    Dash of chilli powder
    1 tsp sweetened shredded coconut

Tips

If you double the recipe, you can use a whole can of pumpkin. Both the leftover pumpkin and the leftover coconut milk can be frozen for future use.

Don't skip the garnish! It really adds something.

You can substitute milk/cream for the coconut milk. I do NOT suggest using skim milk. I would use 1 tbsp of heavy cream and the rest 2% milk.

Pumpkin varies from can to can, so use sugar to honey to sweeten as needed.


Directions

Add canned pumpkin and light coconut milk to a small sauce pan. Stir together. Heat on low/medium heat.

As the mixture heats, add salt, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, pepper, and chilli powder to the pan. Stir to mix.

Stir occasionally, cooking until hot, about 10 minutes.

When warm, pour into bowl for eating, and garnish with 1 tsp of sweetened shredded coconut.
