Onions– Delicious onion helps flavor the whole soup

Curry Powder– a spicy, savory flavor that makes your food taste richer and warmer, and its golden color is eye catching to make your dishes look more appealing.

Ground Ginger– a punch of spicy-sweet flavor

Lemongrass (optional) – Fresh stalks of lemongrass offer a bold refreshing taste. Use the softer interior stalks so they can be eaten once cooked.

How to Make Easy Pumpkin Soup

Start off by peeling and chopping roughly the pumpkin, carrots, and onions.
Fill half a medium pot with salted water and bring it to a boil.
When the water starts boiling, add the vegetables and salt and let them simmer for at least 20 minutes or until the pumpkin and carrots are tender.
Put the spices in a separate bowl with the full can of coconut milk and mix thoroughly.
Once the vegetables are boiled, add them into a blender with the remaining water and the full can of coconut mixed with the curry powder and grounded ginger.
Blend all the ingredients together for at least 60 seconds.
Pour the creamy soup into a bowl and add some chopped lemongrass on top for decor. (optional)

Pumpkin is one of the most popular ingredients to use during the fall season, both for its seasonal appeal and flavor, and for the fact that it is healthy and low-fat. For example, pumpkin can be used as a substitute for more fattening ingredients in baked food items, like cakes and cupcakes. It also has a variety of health benefits, including omega-3 fats, improving prostate health and gut health, including zinc and magnesium, and being great for post-menopause and liver health.
