  1. Sauté onion in olive oil over medium heat until beginning to soften, 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add sugar and spices.
  3. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  4. Add coconut milk and stir until fat is melted. Blend using an immersion or standard blender.

- Add a dash of cayenne pepper to add a slight kick. This pairs beautifully with the sweetness from the pumpkin, brown sugar and warm spice flavors. 

- Serve with a hearty slice of whole grain bread for extra fiber.

- Garnish with fresh parsley, pumpkin seeds and/or crème fraiche to elevate this soup and make it feel extra fancy.
