optional garnish: more yogurtfried sage leaves, pumpkin seeds
Instructions
In a large stock pot or dutch oven, melt 1 Tablespoon butter or coconut oil over medium heat. Add the 1 medium onion (diced) and cook until it starts to soften.
Add 1 teaspoon ground turmeric, 1 clove garlic, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and 1 pinch nutmeg and cook until fragrant.
Stir in 30 ounces canned pumpkin puree and 2 cups whole milk, allow to cook just until a low boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
If you would like a smooth soup, either blend it until smooth or use an immersion blender until the onions are completely processed.
Stir 2 tsp all-purpose flour into 1½ cups plain yogurt and then stir the yogurt into the soup. Continue to cook until heated through. I like the soup on the thick side, but feel free to thin it out with a bit of water or broth until you get the desired consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve with a dollop of yogurt and either a fried sage leaf or a few toasted pumpkin seeds.
