Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cooking Time: 40 minutes

 

Ingredients:

 1 yellow onion, peeled and chopped

3 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced

1 tablespoon of ghee or butter

2 teaspoons sea salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 15-ounce can (425 grams) of pumpkin puree

1 teaspoon dried ginger powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of ground nutmeg

2 cups bone broth

Optional Garnishes:

Toasted pumpkin seeds

Chopped parsley or cilantro

Coconut crème or sour cream

 

 

Instructions:

 Preheat your oven 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 

 Place chopped onion and garlic in a cast-iron skillet and toss with ghee or butter, sea salt, and black pepper.

 Cook in the oven until the onions and garlic slices have browned, about 30 minutes, tossing after 15 minutes.

 Open the can of pumpkin puree and scoop it into a blender, followed by the ginger, paprika, pumpkin pie spice, cumin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and bone broth.

 When the onions and garlic have browned, remove from the oven and add them to the blender.

 Blend on high until everything is creamy and well-combined.

 Prior to serving, heat soup on medium-high on the stove for about 5 minutes.  Serve with toasted pumpkin seeds, a dollop of coconut crème or sour cream and fresh herbs.

 Store any leftovers in a glass container in the fridge for 3-5 days. 

 

Enjoy!
