Ingredients for Pumpkin Soup
Pumpkin Puree
I used my homemade frozen Pumpkin Puree to prepare the soup. On good thing is no need to spend time defrosting the puree. Just dump in the puree and I left it to my dutch oven to take care of the rest. For best results use a heavy-bottomed pan. As we add less water in the beginning.
Coconut Milk
You can use homemade or Store-bought Coconut Milk. Never look for a replacement for coconut milk in this recipe. Other vegan Milk can definitely be used. But taste-wise coconut milk is my recommendation.
Onion, Garlic , Ginger
I sauteed my onions, Sliced garlic, and finely sauteed ginger in the soup. I did not blend them further. If you need a smooth textured soup Use an immersion blender and blend the ingredients finally once again.
Crushed Pepper and Chilli Flakes
I used crushed Pepper powder and chili flakes to spice up the soup. You can definitely use oregano, Italian seasoning, or any soup seasonings as you prefer.
