Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the vegetables

    Dice the onion, carrots, and red bell pepper into small, even pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Add vegetables

    Add the diced carrots, red bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 4

    Incorporate spices

    Stir in the ground cumin, ground cinnamon, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Add liquids

    Pour in the pumpkin puree, vegetable broth, and coconut milk. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  4. 6

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Serving

  1. 7

    Blend (optional)

    For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Ladle the Jack O Lantern Chill into bowls and top with roasted pumpkin seeds, chopped cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, if desired.
