Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup wild rice, rinsed
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried)
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Sauté the onion in olive oil over medium heat until translucent. Add garlic and thyme; cook until fragrant.
  2. Stir in rinsed wild rice and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 45-50 minutes until the rice is tender.
  3. Mix in pumpkin puree and coconut milk; simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  4. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
  5. For a smoother texture, blend some or all of the soup using an immersion blender.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or coconut cream.

Notes

  • Use canned pure pumpkin for convenience or roast fresh pumpkin for a richer flavor.
  • Rinse wild rice before cooking for the best results.
  • Choose low-sodium broth to control saltiness.
  • Fresh thyme elevates the flavor, but dried can be used.
  • Coconut milk adds creaminess without dairy.
  • Store leftover Pumpkin Wild Rice Soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. When reheating, add a splash of water or broth to restore creaminess.
  • For the best flavor, always use fresh pumpkin instead of canned when possible.
  • Don’t skip the sauté step; caramelized onions add depth to your cozy pumpkin wild rice soup.
  • Taste as you go—adjust seasonings for your perfect bowl!
