We love pumpkins, don’t we? And it’s the time of year when it’s cooler outside and nothing sounds better than a warm bowl of soup. This soup is friendly to the digestive system with no gluten or dairy and amazing for the taste buds!
Purpose
The best thing you can do for your body is feed it fresh ingredients. With it being pumpkin season, here’s another recipe to make sure you are using up all those fresh pumpkins from the garden. The currie gives the soup a nice added punch while the warm soothing spices like nutmeg make it a perfect fall soup. Not to mention the fresh garlic, onions and spices are great for the immune system.
Equipment Required
- Large Pot
- Immersion blender (or a regular blender will do)
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp coconut oil (or ghee)

Directions

- Add the vegetable stock and coconut milk. Simmer for 20-30 minutes (Be careful not to burn)
- Remove pot from heat and puree with an immersion blender.
- Place the pot back on stove. Add the nutmeg, salt and pepper (and more curry powder if needed).

Consumption

- If you prefer some chunks in your soup, the soup is great without blending as well!
