Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 15-ounce can pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 cup cooked wild rice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: fresh parsley, roasted pumpkin seeds, or a drizzle of extra coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Cook the wild rice in a separate saucepan according to package instructions (approximately 45 minutes). Set aside once done.
  2. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and the onion turns translucent.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and thyme. Allow the soup to simmer for about 15 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
  4. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a standard blender, work in batches and blend until the desired texture is achieved.
  5. Stir the cooked wild rice into the soup and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve hot with your choice of toppings like fresh parsley, roasted pumpkin seeds, or a drizzle of coconut milk. Enjoy!

Notes

[‘Cook the rice separately to avoid mushiness.’, ‘If using a regular blender, allow the soup to cool slightly before blending in batches to avoid spills.’, ‘Adjust spices to your taste by starting with smaller amounts and adding more as needed.’, ‘Prep veggies and cook rice ahead of time to save time during cooking.’, ‘Optional toppings like fresh parsley or roasted pumpkin seeds enhance flavor and presentation.’]
