Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or high-heat oil of choice)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon powdered ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 (14 ounce or 400 gram) cans pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 (14 ounce or 400 ml) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 ½ cups vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons organic brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • Salt, to taste (I used 1 teaspoon)

Instructions

  • Coat the bottom of a large pot with oil and place it over medium heat.
  • Once the oil heats up, add the onion. Cook the onion for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it softens up and begins to brown.
  • Add the garlic, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and black pepper. Cook everything for about 1 minute, until very fragrant.
  • Stir in the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, broth, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar.
  • Raise the heat and bring the soup to a boil. Lower the heat and allow it to simmer, stirring occasionally, until it thickens up a bit, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from heat and season the soup with salt to taste. Adjust any other seasonings to your liking.
  • Ladle into bowls and serve.
