Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil or vegan butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced (or half a large red onion)
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 1/2 pounds pumpkin weighed after being peeled and seeded, chopped into 1 to 2-inch cubes
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice

Instructions

  • Turn your slow cooker on to warm while you prep the ingredients.
  • Add in the oil or vegan butter.
  • Add in the onion, garlic, pumpkin, allspice, sea salt, ground black pepper, thyme, cayenne pepper, vegetable broth and the coconut milk. Stir to combine.
  • Set the slow cooker to high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours and let the veggies cook down together. At the end, stir in the lime juice and let it cook for about 5 more minutes.
  • Turn your slow cooker off and using your immersion blender, blend all the ingredients together until fully smooth. If you don’t have a blender you can carefully transfer the soup to a blender to blend completely.
  • Taste and add salt and pepper to taste if necessary. The salt will depend on how salty your vegetable broth is.
  • Serve into bowls and top with garnish - I love extra coconut milk, parsley or even a touch more cayenne on top (optional). Enjoy!!

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stovetop or in a slow cooker on low heat.
