Seasonal Spiced Pumpkin Soup
One of the great items I have purchased over the last couple years is my Vitamix and so I don't need to juice a carrot if I want to use one, I can just throw it in the vita and go to town. So here's my take on their recipe:
Seasonal Spiced Pumpkin Soup
Ingredients:
24 oz Vegetable broth
1/4 cup (60 ml) unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/2 cups (368 g) canned pumpkin
1 tablespoon coconut oil {if needing that rich flavor}
1/2 cup (58 g) sliced onions, sautéed in coconut oil
1 1/2 garlic cloves, roasted {if you want to cook this on the stove, then chop and toss in}
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
2 medium sized organic carrots
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 drops of Black Pepper Essential oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup hulled pumpkin seeds - roasted {optional}
Directions for Vitamix:
- Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure lid.
- Select Variable 1.
- Turn machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High.
- Blend for 6-7 minutes or until heavy steam escapes from vented lid.
- Garnish with roasted pumpkin seeds and enjoy
Directions for Stove Top:
- In a large saucepan add coconut oil, melt on medium heat.
- Add pureed carrots from food processor, and onions. Cook down until soft.
- Add garlic, cinnamon, cayenne and cook for another minute.
- Add pumpkin and vegetable broth and boil of high heat to boil. Reduce heat, add in coconut milk, and black pepper essential oil and simmer 15 minutes to blend flavors.
