Ingredients
  

1 medium pumpkin (about 3-4 cups chopped), peeled and diced

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) coconut milk

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated

2 tablespoons curry powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

4 cups vegetable broth

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

A handful of fresh cilantro, for garnish

Juice of 1 lime

Instructions
 

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the onion becomes soft and translucent.

    Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until aromatic.

      Add the diced pumpkin, curry powder, and ground cumin to the pot. Sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently and allowing the spices to toast.

        Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.

          Once the pumpkin is cooked, add the black beans and coconut milk to the pot. Stir everything together and let simmer for another 5 minutes.

            Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer it to a traditional blender in batches.

              Season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir in the lime juice for an extra zing.

                Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
