Preparation Steps

Prepare the Pumpkin: Halve, seed, and cube the fresh pumpkin into bite-sized pieces.
Sauté Aromatics: Heat a splash of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until soft, then add minced garlic.

Blend It Up: Transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender, blending until smooth and creamy.
Incorporate Coconut Milk: Return the blended soup to the pot, stir in coconut milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.
Serve Warm: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds if desired.
