Method

  • In a large pot, saute onions and garlic in a little chicken stock until translucent.
  • Add remaining chicken stock, pumpkin, squash, coconut milk, and spices.
  • Simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Blend (I use a hand blender) until smooth. Add more chicken stock if you wish a have a thinner soup.
