• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 can of coconut milk (400 ml)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Start by peeling the pumpkin and cutting it into charming 2 cm cubes. Roughly chop the onion and garlic and finely grate the ginger for an explosion of flavor.

Heat some oil in a sturdy pan and let the onion and pumpkin caramelize gently. This takes about 8 minutes. Then add the garlic and ginger for an extra depth of flavor. Let the spices, such as turmeric, cinnamon, and chili flakes, work their magic in the pan.

Add the coconut milk and vegetable broth and let the soup simmer gently. After 20 minutes, the pumpkin is perfectly cooked. Puree the soup until it has a velvety smooth consistency and refine the flavor with a touch of lemon juice.

For the finishing touch, fry the sage leaves until crispy in olive oil and whip the coconut milk into a delicious foam. Serve this luxurious soup in deep bowls, garnished with the coconut foam and crispy sage leaves for a luxurious dining experience.

This soup is a perfect balance between the sweetness of pumpkin and the creaminess of coconut milk. Feel free to adjust the spices to make the recipe your own.
