Step-by-Step Instructions :

• Sauté aromatics: Warm oil or ghee in a pot over medium heat; cook onion until translucent, then add garlic, ginger, and turmeric until fragrant, 30–60 seconds.
• Build the base: Stir in pumpkin puree, cumin, cinnamon, broth, and a pinch of salt and pepper; whisk smooth and bring to a gentle simmer.
• Simmer and enrich: Cook 15–20 minutes to meld flavors; stir in coconut milk and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or chili.
• Blend silky-smooth: Use an immersion blender in the pot, or carefully blend in batches until very smooth and velvety.
• Balance and finish: Add a squeeze of lemon or apple cider vinegar if needed, then ladle Gut-Healing Pumpkin Soup into bowls and garnish as desired.

Pro Tips :

• Roast for depth: For extra flavor, roast fresh pumpkin with oil, salt, cumin, and cinnamon before blending into the soup.
• Choose the right fat: Ghee adds buttery richness; olive oil keeps Gut-Healing Pumpkin Soup fully vegan and light.
• Control spice warmth: Start with less ginger and turmeric, then increase to taste after blending for perfect balance.
• Silkiest texture: Blend thoroughly, then strain through a fine mesh for ultra-smooth Gut-Healing Pumpkin Soup if desired.
• Coconut milk care: If coconut milk separates after freezing, re-emulsify by whisking vigorously or blending briefly as it reheats.

Storage & Reheating Tips :

• Refrigerate: Cool completely, store airtight 3–4 days; reheat gently over low, adding broth or water to loosen.
• Freeze: Portion into containers with headspace and freeze up to 3 months; label and date for easy rotation.
• Thaw and reheat: Thaw overnight in the fridge; whisk or blend to restore creaminess if separation occurs.
• Add garnishes fresh: Stir in herbs, yogurt, or seeds after reheating to keep textures crisp and flavors bright.
• Batch cook smart: Double the recipe and freeze plain; add coconut milk after thawing for the smoothest Gut-Healing Pumpkin Soup.
