• 2 tbsp coconut oil

Next, pour in the pumpkin puree and coconut milk, stirring to combine everything smoothly. Slowly add vegetable broth while stirring continuously. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Once the soup has simmered, use an immersion blender to blend it until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can skip this step or blend to your desired consistency. Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if needed.

Serve the Spicy Pumpkin Coconut Soup hot, garnished with a drizzle of coconut milk and a sprinkle of chili powder for an extra kick. This dish pairs perfectly with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
