Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 shallot diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 15-ounce cans pumpkin puree
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  • Add the diced onion and shallot, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
  • Stir in the pumpkin puree, vegetable broth, and coconut milk until well combined. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
  • Add the curry powder, salt, pepper, and dried sage. Simmer for 15 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors come together and the soup thickens slightly.
  • Serve warm in shot glasses or small dishes, garnished with sage leaves and pumpkin seeds.

Notes

  • Consistency: If the soup is thicker than you'd like, thin it with a splash more vegetable broth. It should coat the back of a spoon but still pour easily from a small pitcher if you're portioning into shot glasses.
  • Make ahead: This soup reheats well. Make it up to 2 days ahead and rewarm gently on the stove before serving.
  • Serving size: For a starter course in bowls instead of shot glasses, this recipe makes about 4 to 5 servings.
