Instructions
 

Pumpkin Sweet Potato Soup

  • Wash and peel the sweet potatoes
  • Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch chunks
  • Place the sweet potato chunks and broth into a large pot
  • Bring to a boil and simmer the sweet potatoes for about 20-25 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender
  • Once the sweet potatoes are tender, pour in the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper
  • Simmer for a minute or two
  • Pour a third of the soup mixture into a high speed blender
  • Blend until the mixture is pureed and smooth and set aside
  • Repeat for the remaining two batches of the soup
  • Add salt and pepper to taste
  • Serve in pumpkin bowls and top with maple cinnamon roasted pepitas, pomegranate seeds, coconut milk, sage

Maple Cinnamon Roasted Pepitas

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit
  • In a mixing bowl, mix together the pepitas, oil, maple syrup, and cinnamon
  • Spread evenly on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes
  • Serve on top of the soup and save the rest for snacking

Pumpkin Bowls

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
  • Cut the top off of each pumpkin around the stem, it should be about a third of the pumpkin
  • Remove the lid and scoop out the seeds (this is where I find a grapefruit spoon helps)
  • Brush the insides and outsides of each pumpkin with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes until the pumpkin is tender
  • Scoop the Pumpkin Sweet Potato soup into the middle of each pumpkin
  • Garnish with Maple Cinnamon Roasted Pepitas, Pomegranate Seeds, Coconut Milk, and Sage
  • Serve and Enjoy!
