Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon mild curry powder
  • 15 ounces plain pumpkin puree
  • 13.5 ounces light coconut milk
  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate arils
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Instructions
 

  1. Warm the olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Cook the onion for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring, until softened. Add the garlic, ginger, and curry powder and stir for 1 minute.
  2. Stir in the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, and broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Blend until smooth with an immersion blender. Stir in the lime juice and salt. If the soup is too thick, add broth or water a tablespoon at a time. Heat through without boiling hard.
  4. Divide among four bowls. Top each with toasted pumpkin seeds, pomegranate arils, and cilantro. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Choose plain pumpkin puree, not sweetened pumpkin pie filling.
  • For a countertop blender, let the soup cool slightly and blend in small batches with the lid vented.
  • Keep crunchy toppings separate from stored soup. Refrigerate promptly in shallow containers and use within 3 to 4 days.
  • Nutrition is an approximate per-bowl calculation using Libby’s pumpkin, Thai Kitchen Lite coconut milk, USDA food composition data for the remaining ingredients, and four equal servings. Product labels vary.
