Recipe type: Soup
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup yellow onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1 quart vegetable or chicken stock
  • 29 ounces pumpkin puree
  • Salt to taste
  • Garnishes (apple, sunflower seeds, feta, etc)
Instructions
  1. In a soup pot, heat the olive oil on medium and sautee chopped onion and minced garlic for about 5 minutes.
  2. Add in spices and stir for one minute until fragrant.
  3. Add in vegetable stock and pumpkin puree and stir the soup until the pumpkin incorporates into the stock (I used a whisk which made it easy). Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  4. Add salt to taste and puree with an immersion blender or a food processor if desired for a creamier consistency.
  5. Garnish with thinly sliced apple matchsticks, sunflower seeds, and crumbled feta (if not vegan).
Notes
This recipe uses 2 cans of pumpkin (an equivalent of 3 and ½ cups pumpkin puree).
