🥣 Cozy up with a bowl of Creamy Pumpkin Soup — the perfect autumn comfort food! 🍂

Ingredients:
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium sugar pumpkin (pie pumpkin), peeled, seeded & cubed
👉 Tip: Sugar pumpkins are sweeter and creamier than carving pumpkins. If unavailable, kabocha or butternut squash are excellent swaps.
• 3 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup coconut milk or heavy cream
• ½ tsp ground nutmeg
• ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
• Salt & pepper to taste

Toppings: Fresh parsley, toasted pumpkin seeds, or croutons 🌿

Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot, sauté onion & garlic until fragrant.
2. Add pumpkin & broth, bring to a boil. Simmer 15–20 minutes until pumpkin is tender.
3. Purée with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in cream or coconut milk + spices.
4. Adjust seasoning & serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Perfect for chilly evenings, cozy dinners, or as a Thanksgiving starter. 🍽️

Step 2: Toss on some sautéed greens (yes, you can skip the kale).
Step 3: Crown it with a poached egg.
Step 4: Sprinkle chili flakes like you mean it.
