Ingredients
- Lemongrass: Make sure to bruise the lemongrass by pressing down with the back of a knife to release its aromatic oils. I remove the lemongrass before blending as much as possible because it’s fibrous.
- Olive Oil
- Onion
- Garlic
- Ginger
- Pumpkin Puree: Use pure pumpkin puree, make sure it’s not pumpkin pie filling!
- Coconut Milk: Full-fat coconut milk will provide a creamier, richer texture.
- Vegetable Broth
- Lime Juice
- Salt
- Toppings: Top your soup with toasted pepitas, cilantro leaves, thinly sliced red chili pepper, or freshly ground black pepper as desired.
This soup recipe is excellent served with easy peasy no knead bread. Fresh bread and a fall flavored soup is the perfect combo as the evenings begin to get a little chilly!
You will also need a soup pot and an immersion blender.

Notes
No immersion blender? Transfer soup mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Proceed with caution as blending a hot mixture can build pressure and risk burns, I crack the blender lid a hint when blending hot mixtures.
