A Recipe from Govinda's Kitchen...
Vegan Creamy Pumpkin Soup

Now that cooler weather is here, we love to prepare fast, hearty, squash family soups. This one is a super creamy vegan pumpkin soup. This rich and satisfying broth is made with coconut cream and spices for a simply delicious appetizer. Ready in 20 minutes!


INGREDIENTS
  • 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
  •  1/2 tsp hing
  • 1/2 tsp. turmeric
  • 1 tsp ginger (minced or finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 9 cups (2.2lbs) peeled 'n' cubed pumpkin
(butternut squash works as well)
  • 1 14oz (400ml) can coconut cream
  • 1 & 1/2 cups (360ml) vegetable stock broth
  • salt & pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS
  1. Add the coconut oil to a pot with the ginger and sauté.
  2. Add the hing, turmeric, thyme and cayenne pepper.
  3. Add the coconut cream, vegetable stock, and pumpkin and bring to a boil.
  4. Turn down the heat and simmer until the pumpkin is soft and cooked (around 10 min).
  5. Use an immersion blender to blend it smooth inside the pot. If you don't have an immersion blender, transfer to a blender jug in stages and blend until smooth.
