  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
  • 1½ teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 14-ounce can chicken broth or vegetable broth

PREPARATION

Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, garlic, ginger, and curry powder. Cook until carrots are almost soft, 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the broth and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until carrots are very soft, 10 minutes.

Transfer to a blender or food processor and puree until very smooth. Return to pan and stir in pumpkin, coconut milk and salt. Cook over medium-low heat until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Serve and garnish with pumpkin seeds, if desired.
