Coconut Curry Pumpkin Soup

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup chopped sweet onions (I usually use the whole onion)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp. curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp. unrefined sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp. ground coriander
  • 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 lb. roasted pumpkin or 2 cups pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup 100% coconut milk or coconut cream
  • Optional: Garnish with large, unsweetened coconut flakes, toasted until edges turn light brown

Heat coconut oil in deep pot over medium-high heat. Stir in onions and garlic; cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add vegetable broth, curry powder, salt, coriander, and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a gentle boil, about 10 minutes. Cover, and simmer 10 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Whisk in pumpkin and coconut milk, and simmer another 5 minutes.

Working in batches, pour soup into blender, filling only halfway; process until smooth. If needed, return soup to pot and reheat briefly over medium heat before serving.  If desired, top with unsweetened coconut flakes.
