Ingredients


2 pumpkin Sugar pumpkin
1 tbsp Olive Oil, Extra Virgin
3 clove(s) Garlic (diced)
2 medium shallot(s) Shallots (diced)
2 cup Vegetable stock/broth, gluten-free
1 cup Coconut milk, reduced fat (or other non-dairy beverage)
1/4 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Black pepper
2 tbsp Maple syrup (or honey)
1/4 tsp Nutmeg, ground
1/4 tsp Sea Salt

Instructions


  1. Preheat the oven to 350F (177C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Using a sharp knife, cut off the tops of two sugar pumpkins and then halve them. Use a sharp spoon to scrape out all of the seeds and strings (see notes for a link to roasting seeds).
  3. Brush the flesh with oil and place face down on the baking sheet. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a fork easily pierces the skin. Remove from the oven, let cool for 10 minutes, then peel away skin and set pumpkin aside.
  4. To a large saucepan over medium heat add olive oil, shallot, and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly browned and translucent. Turn down heat if cooking too quickly.
  5. Add remaining ingredients, including the pumpkin, and bring to a simmer.
  6. Transfer the soup mixture to a blender or use an emulsion blender to puree the soup. If using a blender, place a towel over the top of the lid before mixing to avoid any accidents. Pour the mixture back into the pot.
  7. Continue cooking over medium-low heat for 5-10 minutes and taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve and enjoy!
