INGREDIENTS

1 nice Canadian pumpkin, approx. 1.5-2 kg, peeled, deseeded, diced
0.5 dl olive oil
0.5 liter coconut milk
0.5 liter vegetable broth
2 cloves garlic
Juice of one lime
A few tablespoons agave syrup to taste
1 small onion, finely chopped
5 dkg pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons pumpkin seed oil
1 small red chili (optional)
A few stalks spring onion
A little fresh coriander

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Finely dice the onion, garlic, and ginger and sauté them in olive oil.
2
If using, the chopped chili can be added at this point.
3
Add the diced pumpkin and sauté for a few minutes, then pour in half of the coconut milk and broth.
4
Cook the pumpkin until completely soft, then thoroughly purée it in a blender and strain.
5
Check its consistency and adjust to your liking with broth and coconut milk.
6
After this, you can season with salt, lime juice, and agave syrup.
7
Serve with toasted pumpkin seeds, pumpkin seed oil, and fresh herbs.

Tip

You can also roast the pumpkin in the oven beforehand for a deeper, sweeter soup. The chili can be omitted, but if you remove the seeds and veins, the chili will barely be spicy. Other plant-based milks can also be used, but the flavor of coconut pairs very well with pumpkin.
