Ingredients

  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) for garnish
  • Optional: ½ cup heavy cream for extra creaminess

How to Make Creamy Pumpkin and Spinach Soup

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the pumpkin puree, ground ginger, and ground cumin. Cook for 2-3 minutes, mixing well to combine the flavors.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat and let it cook for about 15 minutes.
  5. Add the chopped spinach and coconut milk to the pot. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. For a creamier texture, stir in heavy cream if using.
  7. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth, or transfer to a blender in batches. Blend until creamy and return to the pot.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with a swirl of cream and fresh herbs.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use fresh pumpkin for a more robust flavor, but canned pumpkin is a quick and convenient option.
  • Adjust the spices based on your taste preference; a pinch of nutmeg can elevate the flavor.
  • For a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.

Easy Variations

  • Swap spinach for kale or Swiss chard for a different green.
  • Add cooked lentils or chickpeas for added protein and texture.
  • Experiment with different herbs, like thyme or rosemary, to change the flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

  • Crusty bread or a warm baguette for dipping.
  • A simple side salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
  • Grilled cheese sandwiches for a classic pairing.
  • Roasted vegetables for a hearty meal.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. For longer storage, freeze the soup in portions for up to 3 months.
