CREAMY COCONUT 🥥 PUMPKIN 🎃SOUP! 🍜
🍁🍁Fall is a great time to try this powerful, creamy and delicious Japanese (kabocha) pumpkin soup. It’s so easy to make that it will keep you coming back for more! Bake a medium pumpkin in the oven for 30 minutes at 300 degrees until soft. Remove the skin and seeds. Combine the pumpkin chopped in cubes in a blender with 3 garlic cloves, veggie broth, 1/2 cup coconut milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, salt and pepper to taste. Pour the mixture in a pot and simmer for about 15 minutes. You can add more or less veggie broth for desired thickness. Top with coconut flakes, hempseed, tomatoes or toppings of your choice. Enjoy my favorite fall Japanese pumpkin soup. I hope it will quickly become one of you favorites! What’s your favorite soup?🥣
