Guys, meet my new favourite pumpkin soup recipe. It’s super creamy thanks to the roasted pumpkin and a little help from coconut milk. It is gently spiced, and full of flavour. It is perfect served alongside toasted sourdough bread with a generous knob of butter. Oh my. This soup screams autumn!

- Add the spices to the onions and stir constantly for one minute.
- Transfer the mixture into a pot, add the remaining ingredients, together with the pumpkin, and stir to combine.
