Nutrient-rich canned pumpkin adds rich flavor – and an extra boost of fiber – to this Curried Pumpkin Soup. That’s because the can seals in its nutrition, freshness and flavor, naturally – so it’s there for you year round.
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.
