Anybody else a HUGE fan of all things Fall?? With the weather getting chilly here in Lawrence, I bring out all the and . And of course, when the weather gets colder like this, we eat ALL the soup and make all kinds of pumpkin desserts! Last time, I shared with you our easy Instant Pot Chicken Wild Rice Soup (which happens to be dairy-free!)

What You Need to Make Creamy Pumpkin Soup
- 3 sugar pumpkins, roasted (or 3 1/2 cups pumpkin puree)
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth (sub bone broth if not vegan)
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (or sub heavy cream if not DF)
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon

How to Make Creamy Pumpkin Soup
- To a large stockpot, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and onion. Sauté for 4 minutes, or until onions are translucent and garlic is fragrant.
